Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

OpenOffice Calc 3.0 (build 3.0.0-6) from PPA <http://ppa.launchpad.net
/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu> uses commas to separate fields in formulas,
rather than the OpenOffice default semi-colon.

After entering a formula for a range of cells using commas, I cannot go
back and properly change the Relative/Absolute references of cell
references in the formula.  If I try to lock just one cell reference and
hit Enter, all of the cell references in the formula get locked.  Cell
references that are "touching" a comma separator will not change at all
with Shift-F4.

To get around this problem, I have to enter the formula using semi-
colons, adjust the Relative/Absolute references to what I want, and then
change the semi-colon back to a comma.  If the semi-colon is left in,
Calc gives an "Err: 508" in the cell.  It also appears to work fine if I
leave spaces before and after every comma in the formula.

Calc should be set to use the OpenOffice default of semi-colons for all
field separators.  This is also the standard for ODF 1.2 documents.
