That's not a bug. Applying a cell format never changes the cell content. The ' apostrophe in the input line is prepended so that when editing the content it stays text. Removing the ' will accept the input as number then. You can bulk change multiple cells by selecting them, apply a number format and then invoke Find&Replace Search: ^. Replace: $0 and in options check regular expression and selection only. Or use the Convert-Text-To-Number extension from http://extensions.libreoffice.org /extension-center/ct2n-convert-text-to-number-and-dates
