            Bug ID: 154131
           Summary: Pasted text like 1E1 or 5E2 treated as scientific
                    format
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org

I insert a large list of text from the clipboard and stumbled over the fact
that content like 1E1 is converted to 10 or 5E2 to 50 (among other strings like
CSE1, 1ECS etc.). Without sorting I wouldn't have realized this silent
conversion.

Solution is to mark this column explicitly as text. However I doubt many users
keep in mind to do so. We could a) always use Text, b) warn if a column
contains variable content, c) just don't convert scientific number formats.
None is really good, maybe c) with an option to switch it on.
