Hi, all. It's been a long time since I've run into a problem of any
significance, so posting here before I look up how to report a bug (partly to
see if this really is one).
In a Writer document, I have three Right tab stops set, to show staggered
columns of numbers. When I type a large number, though, with commas separating
the thousands, the tab stop starts acting as a Decimal stop instead of Right.
For example, if I type 1,234,567 it acts as though the tab stop is a Decimal
stop and the comma between the 4 and the 5 is a decimal point. Might this be a
bug?
As a secondary note: I don't think this one is a bug, but it's certainly
unexpected behavior. Because I was in a hurry to get a report out to a client
I tried the same numbers in a spreadsheet, again expecting the columns would be
overlapping. Numeric values, though, won't overflow the cell the way text
does, even when the cell is specifically right-justified. Again, I was in a
hurry so I just entered all the numbers as text, but then had to do my own
calculations to show totals (no biggie, since I would have had to do that
anyway in the Writer document, but annoying in a spreadsheet).
The question is really about the first item -- the second one is just a minor
gripe. Do y'all think this is a bug, or is there some rational reason the
program should behave this way?
