Hi Tim

I belive that this actually is the expected behavior.

If I enter 7/8 the cell shows 41493.
Well this is the numeric representation of the date 2013-08-07. So the problem is that Calc is converting the value 7/8 into a date. If you go to Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages, you can enter what patterns that are to be recogniced as dates in the text box Date acceptance patterns. If you remove D/M from the list of comma separated patterns then you can enter 7/8 and it will no longer be converted.

Of course it would be nice if the cell format would have some sort of precedence over these auto-conversion functionality but that is at best a feature request.
