Hm, with german localization I expect exactly the behavior you complain in your
document: Here input 17-07-12 Is the short form of 2017-07-12 what means
2012-July-12

I doubt that we have a real bug, believe that it's a settings 7 defaults
problem.

I am pretty sure that reporter's beta1 uses a (dev) user profile different from
the normal release user profile, what might cause different settings. Date
input can be worrying, see

@gerdl:
Please:
– if possible contribute an instruction how to create a sample document 
  from the scratch
- add information 
  -- what EXACTLY is unexpected
  -- and WHY do you believe it's unexpected (Localization settings)
  -- concerning your PC 
  -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language)
  -- concerning your LibO localization (UI language, Locale setting)
  –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems 
  -- how you launch LibO and how you opened the sample document
  –- Your results after having copied your "normal" user profile to the
     dev-Profile used by beta1
  -- All localization info available (OS, LibO settings, ...)
  -- your Styles settings for dates
  -- everything else crossing your mind after you read linked texts
