> Or it may even solve this issue..

Proposed solution: manually set format could be kept / block the number
recognition (Heiko)

So reading the Help:
 
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01040500.html?System=UNIX&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=modules/swriter/ui/opttablepage/OptTablePage#bm_id3148685

  "  ...
  When an input cannot be recognized as a number, the number category
  changes to Text and the input is not changed.

  If Number recognition is not marked, numbers are saved in text
  format and are automatically left-aligned. "

the proposed solution should change the first paragraph here.

And also a part of the Help section thereafter ("Number format recognition")
would be affected.

 ---
I wonder why the behavior: change back to Text when the input is not
recognized, is chosen so consequently.. It may be interesting to ask a
Calc/table hacker...

@erack, Eike: would doing the proposed change cause any troubles maybe that you
know?
