The bug described in fdo#40363 may occur if you make a typo when type some dates in Calc.
Thanks for investigating, I'll dig into that.
If I modify Date::IsValid so that only dates strictly between 1582-10-05 and 1582-10-15 are not valid, then the chart wizard works without problem.
Interesting.. but probably similar problems arise when the date would go negative. Or earlier..
I do not understand why every dates before 1582-10-15 should not be valid when only dates from 1582-10-05 to 1582-10-14 do not exist due to the switch from julian calendar to gregorian calendar.
Well, the Date class was never declared to work with dates earlier than when the Gregorian calendar sprang into existence ;-)
Now, my question is what to do? Is it a good idea to modify Date::IsValid in tdate.cxx without knowing why it works in LibO 3.3 ?
I don't think so. More promising probably would be to switch to a real calendar.. I may take a stab at that. But first investigate how Chart and Calc interface there.
