Bug ID: 156775
Summary: Autodate Is Counter-productive
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Typing the number 11 in a cell should result in the number 11 being in that
cell. Instead it always changes to "00-01-10", which is incredibly anti-helpful
when I'm trying to type in list of numbers. It seems like everyone on the
planet hates the auto-date "feature", but no one will actually do anything
about it.
I have been using LO since it was called StarOffice 5, and in all these years
auto-dates have NEVER been helpful, but frequently hinder me significantly
because of my mental and physical disabilities. Forcing users to deal with
workarounds instead of just putting a toggle in the settings is asinine in the
extreme.
I wish I had the necessary skills to fix it. Instead LO repeatedly chooses to
remain yet another program whose developers don't care about people with
disabilities. I should learn to assume that by now.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type a number into a cell
2.
3.
Actual Results:
It turns into a freaking-useless date. Even more useless because I have to tell
it I'm Canadian in order to make it use non-middle-endian-dates.
Expected Results:
The number I typed.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
