            Bug ID: 119586
           Summary: FORMATTING: Changing the thousands separator in number
                    format loses separators for digit grouping in numbers
                    from million and above
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: thomas.lendo at gmail.com

When changing the number separator in one of the below mentioned dialogs
manually, then the separator will only be applied as thousands separator (as
the name already indicates). Higher numbers (million and more) e.g. 1 000 000
will be displayed as 1000 000.

When changing back to the default separator of the selected language then the
separators will be correctly added to numbers from a million and above (German:
1.000.000).

Dialogs with separator:
- Writer: Table > Number Format
- Calc: Format > Cells > Numbers
- Calc: in every cell style dialog > Numbers


Actual behavior:
Changing thousands separator for 1.000.000 (German) from a point to a thin
space will result in 1000 000.

Expected behavior:
The million with manually added thin space as separator should be displayed as
1 000 000.


PS: Should the name be 'digit group separator' instead of 'thousands
separator'? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator#Digit_grouping)
