<pre>Description:
With autocorrect options disabled, as much as is possible, pasting of formulas
still seems to force fractions and breaks the formulas - and in a way that
cannot be easily worked around.
Steps to Reproduce:
Paste from a plain text file "=1/2" to any cell on a new file, with the format
already then number:general
Actual Results:
see then "=1⁄2" is made with a Unicode fraction slash U+2044 and not the usual
solidus U+002F
and some zero width space U+200B has been introduced as a prefix, which stops
it as a formula.
Expected Results:
expected formula to action as 0.5 or worst case default as text but not badly
translated.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Repeat this with
"
=0+1⁄2
=9+1/2
"
to see the oddity also that =9+1/2 works - so "=0+" is not a workaround.
