<pre>I noticed something really odd with the auto-correct for dates in LibreOffice
Calc.
When I would input dates in a mm-dd-yy format, sometimes it would auto correct
to mm/dd/yy format in the cell, and a mm/dd/yyyy format in the bar above the
cell.
This would be fine, except that it only does this some of the time. I've done a
little bit of research and I think this behaviour is exclusive to cases where
day is between 1 and 11, and the year is between 1 and 31.
For instance, when I input 06-01-18 , in would be corrected to 06/01/18 while
05-31-18 would remain unchanged.
I have tried turning off the AutoInput tool with no effect.
When I use the Format As Date tool (ctrl-shift-3) the date is changed from
06/01/18 to what I assume is an arbitrary number signifying the date in the
code. For instance 06/01/18 is reverted to 43252, 06/02/18 reverts to 432523
etc. Using the same tool on 05-31-18 changed nothing.
In the grand scheme of things this is a minor issue, more annoying than
anything else, in testing I found that I can put a [ ' ] character in front of
the date and the format will not change, nor will the character show in the
cell. But I thought I should still let you know.</pre>
