I don't see how changing 32769 to -32767 is more dangerous than changing 32769
to 32768 - in both cases, it is "data loss", if you want.
Also, I'm tempted to say that this is normally the task of the back-end, which
should not silently convert the data we pass to it. Depends a little bit on
whether the conversion happens when you leave the cell, or when the record is
committed to the database.
Having said that, I don't see a good solution. I don't think converting to the
maximum is better than overflow, and I don't think a modal message box when
leaving the cell is a good user experience.
