             Bug #: 47496
           Summary: Saving a DBF (dBase) after Editing values changes the
                    column data format: adds trailing decimals
                    (FILESAFE,FORMATTING)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.4.3 release
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Spreadsheet

Created attachment 58668
  --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=58668
Original file, correct. Created using openoffice 3.3

first of all, this bug may be related to
https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32672, but it's a little
different.

Saving a .dbf file changes the columns datatype. Trailing decimals are ALWAYS
added.

There is no way to stop this. I tried saving in different charsets, changing
the spreadshell cell format to whole numbers before saving, etc. Two trailing
decimals are always added.

I.E. COLUMN,N,5,0 becomes COLUMN,N,7,2 and 1995 becomes 1995,00

This bug did not occur in Openoffice between March 2009 up to Version
3.3(including)


The reformatting seems to occure during filesave, not during opening the
modified file.:
Opening a saved file and saving it again leads to a binary identical (modified)
file.
