<pre>In calc when changing locale if the separator character is not valid then the
separator in formulas are changed automatically.
When this happen there is a stange behaviour.
1) Create a new file with locale set to "English (USA)"
In this locale the separator is ","
2) Insert in cell A1 the formula
=LEFT("Text",2)
3) Change locale to "Spanish (Spain)"
In this locale the separator can't be "," so is changed to ";"
4) Press the mouse over cell A1
The application then shows a message about change separator character and when
you accept a range of cells becomes selected moving the mouse changes the
selection as if the shift key was pressed.</pre>
