------- Additional comments from [email protected] Tue Dec 16 00:28:42 +0000 2008 ------- (Reproducing the results here are probably dependent on your locale.) 1) Open a new document. 2) Create a table (say 2x2) - I used the toolbar icon. (Note the cells have a default number format of type "Text".) 3) Type a date into one of the cells: 3 Dec. 08 4) I press down arrow on the keyboard to move the cursor to the next cell down. 5) Number recognition is on, and so OOo3 auto-formats the date to: 03/12/08 (The cell number format is now auto-changed to "date") OK, I can live with the auto-format and I'm happy with number recognition "on" 'cos I'm going to need it in other cells, BUT, I want my date to be 3 Dec. 08. 6) If I look in the undo list, the last operation is "format cell". So, good, I press the undo button on the toolbar, and sure enough my date changes back to what I typed - great. So far so good. 7) But here's the problem. The undo ALSO moved my cursor back to the cell. I didn't want that - I want the cursor where I left it. So I down arrow again again to get back to where I was. And the whole thing repeats from step 5 - an infinite loop. The issue: Undoing "format cell" should leave the cursor where I left it. Yes, undo the auto formatting, but no, don't move the cursor. The two things should not be bound together.
