Hi.
I am trying to use tabs to line some parameter pairs up. This may or may
not be a bug depending upon the way you think a decimal tab should work.

If you put the following into a writer document

4800=4800
19K2=19200

Now highlight and Format>paragraph>tabs.

Set a tab stop at 5cm, decimal, character set to '='

Tab the above lines.

Should the 2 = signs line up or should the K in the lower line align with
the = in the top line?


I think they should align to the =. In fact, if you use anything but a
number, it will align to that anything. Try this: set a normal decimal
separator like a colon and test inserting things like

123,2
12.32
1m232

you'll see that the m aligns with the colon, but the dot do not. It seem
that the system is able to recognize colons and dots but treat anything
that it's not a number, a colon or a dot like a valid decimal separator. So
yes, it seems a bug.

Regards,
Ricardo




LO 5.4, I get the K aligning with the =, the = don't all line up as I had
expected.

Cheers, steve
