Is that you, Roy? (The IT Crowd reference)
So, you're claiming:
1. A cell becoming Text is always intentional.
2. Such a change should be irrevocable.
Both of these are false. Well, you can write software where #2 is true, but I
doubt many users will appreciate a spreadsheet that cannot be modified more
than once.
There are many ways for cells to become Text without that being intentional,
even with power users of LO. Users can need something to be Text, but only
temporarily, with the later intention of changing it to a date or a number.
More commonly, any time you insert a row or column, LO is copying the
propert(ies) of adjacent cells, and that's not always ideal. Users might have
intended to have clicked on the item just before, and so accidentally convert a
cell, row, column or entire sheet to Text, with no obvious change that they
would quickly Undo from.
So, yes, any edit should be able to be changed again, with reversible results.
Otherwise, you have a cell that looks normal, like any other empty cell, but
yet when you insert a number or formula, it doesn't work like one.
Btw, all the many "It's not a bug, it's a feature" replies are just
disheartening for users like me who take our own time to research if it's
already reported, and then report the bug.
Eventually, someone will take this serious enough to fix it. It's a HUGE issue
for anyone who uses Text.
And, yes, of course I tried turning it off and back on!
