Version has been modified erroneous, so back to most early version

I see the effect: cell shows date and time, after double click view changes to
"39480,25", as seen in input line. But I doubt that it is a bug and I am pretty
sure that we will not fix that.


@reporter:
Please feel free to reopen this Bug if you can contribute Microsoft manual
information that the format code you found in the excel documents really is
valid and useful for particular applications, in that case we would have to
think about improvements for our input filter.

Additional Info:
----------------
(a) the effect is not related to the "@" in the format string. It will also
    appear if you type some different text "foo" after the semicolon
(b) If I understand everything correctly the format code is "TT.MM.JJJJ
HH:MM;@"
    is incorrect, also in excel. In AOO and Excel you can insert different 
    format codes for different contents, the sections for the different
contents
    are separated by semicolons. In excel: <POSITIVE>;<NEGATIVE>;<ZERO>;<TEXT>
    So in Example the "@" in reporter's example is a formatting instruction for 
    negative numbers. Because it is invalid, it will make invisible negative
    numbers in reporter's example Cell D8
(c) so the format code simply is invalid, does not cause bigger trouble most 
    times, but is useless. We can't have ambition to correct any user error 
    of Excel users in AOO. So Not An Issue for now
