--- Comment #10 from Laurent BP <jumbo4444 at yahoo.fr> ---
The reason of this behavior is that "General" format has no fixed decimal
places: it is adapted to column width and precision (scientific format may be
preferred for large or small values). As there is no specified format (number
places is undefined), "Add/Delete Decimal Place" fixes decimal places to the
maximum given by precision.
The easiest workaround I found is to first apply "Format as Number" with one of
these ways:
- button "Format as Number" in Format toolbar (just left of "Add/Delete Decimal
Place"
- keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+1
- sidebar "Number format" section: modify "Leading zeroes" or change category
to Number
