             Bug #: 44399
           Summary: UI: Format Cells dialog displays misleading value for
                    'Decimal places'
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.4.4 release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
 Status Whiteboard: BSA
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Spreadsheet
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


LibO on Windows XP.  

When you open the Format Cells dialog for a cell you have not previously
formatted, the 'Format' is preselected as "General", and the 'Decimal places'
is preselected as 0.  This is contradictory: the General format has no defined
number of decimal places, and will display as many decimal places as the value
has that is in the cell (up to a point).  Furthermore this presentation may
lead the user to think that he/she can set the decimal places to zero just by
pressing Return on this dialog presented in this state, but this, of course,
does not set the decimal places.  

I would suggest that this dialog contains a blank value for 'Decimal places'
when 'Format' is "General".
