Hi,

I'd like to inquire about a group of related bugs which are all due to
calc's auto format of numbers to date, which in some cases also changes the
number itself. Do we target these for the 3.5 life time ?

Try enter something as 1.2.3 and it will be changed to a date. The is
annoying with version number or any number format which has 3 dots in it.
The other problem is that you can't just change the cell format, as the
real content behind the date isn't the number you've entered.
