--- Comment #5 from Aprax <r...@jwcca.com> --- The fix, to untick, is not intuitive, very not intuitive, it's buried so deep in the config. It definitely should be unticked by default. It may be useful for some people but really I can't think of any time when I'd want that. If I insert new columns, I format them myself if they need to be. I don't want the program to assume the new column has the same characteristics as the one to the left. Example: I have two 'time' columns followed by a text column and decide to insert a column to calculate the number of days between two 'date' columns elsewhere, the new column should be 'number' but extended formatting makes it 'time'. Which has to be changed either way, but is frustrating when it's initially made 'time'. I guess the 'fix' is to change the default for brand new installs but what about us folks that 'update over' existing config that has this ticked? It's definitely a PITA, confusing at least, and if everybody has to 'report a bug' to find this answer, that's a lot of time wasted. If this config was added as a new 'feature' and defaulted to ticked, that was a mistake, and one with serious consequences to the reputation of the product. Any new feature needs to be tested in the context of the number of users that will benefit from and want and understand it. My reaction was that 'someone broke LO Calc' (and I muttered a few words that I won't repeat :) How could this be 'fixed' for the unwashed masses that have this ticked but don't have any idea why their lovable LO is now their unlovable LO? The Status option NOTABUG should be changed to BIGBOOBOOSORRY :) J -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
