[Libreoffice-ux-advise] removing inherited number formats in calc

[Markus Mohrhard]

Hey guys,

we are currently discussing how to solve fdo#60215 [1] . Currently the plan
for this is to switch the default in 4-0 to "Always Recalc" and remove the
inherited number formats in master.

The plan to remove inherited number formats has several benefits. Inherited
number formats are calculated during the interpretation step of formula
calculation which makes them rely on a full recalculation. Additionally
since they are not stored in the file they are an interoperability problem.
Together with the fact that it also improves the interoperability with
Excel and that it will simplify our code a lot we came to the conclusion
that this is the best option until now.

Are there any objections from the UX point of view?

Regards,
Markus
