This file has dates represented in a number of different formats.
When a date field is created and formatted in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD) in a
Writer (ODT) file it displays correctly. However, if the file is opened in
Writer with the English (Canada) locale enabled, it incorrectly displays as
DD/MM/YYYY.
If this file is changed, and re-saved while the English (Canada) locale is
enabled, the date format is permanently changed to DD/MM/YYYY.
How to Recreate:
1. Open an ODT file.
2. Insert > Fields > Date
3. Double-click on newly created field.
4. Select YYYY-MM-DD format
5. Close file
6. Re-open file in OpenOffice with with English (Canada) locale enabled.
Expected behaviour:
Date field should still be in YYYY-MM-DD format.
Actual behaviour:
Date field is now in DD/MM/YYYY format.
Notes:
- This problem does not occur when English (UK) locale is enabled.
- The problem occurs under both Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux
- This may or may not be related to the recent change in default date format
for the English (Canada) locale from DD/MM/YY to YYYY-MM-DD (see bug ____)
