            Bug ID: 138378
           Summary: Table Entry Automatically Converted from Text to Date
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.3.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: larrywbradley at gmail.com

Description:
Typing a month and year (e.g., December 1981) into a table cell automatically
converts the cell entry to a date format (12/01/81). This is the most annoying
and dumbest "feature" I have encountered in years. Further, there is no readily
evident way of stopping the conversion and preserving the text format so that
it will not change automatically to a date format. PLEASE REMOVE THIS
"FEATURE"!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type "December 1981" into table cell, then tab to or click in next cell.

Actual Results:
Automatically converts text to date style: 12/01/81. 

Expected Results:
It should not automatically change my style based on some senseless
anticipation of what "I really intended to do." 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
