Package: gnumeric
Version: 1.10.15-1
Severity: minor

As I wrote in the subject the sign of percentage values is displayed
inconsistently.

How do I reproduce the incoherent behaviour:
 - set three cells with the value "=1%/100"
 - "format" the three cells as "Percentage" with 0, 1, and 2 "Decimal
places" respectively,
 - gnumeric displays "-0%", "0,0%", "-0,01%" in the three cells.

It is not clear why with zero decimal places the percentage is marked as
negative "-0%", with one digit the sign disappears, then it reappears
(obviously) with two digits. I'd prefer to have the sign also for a
positive number of decimal places: "-0,0%".

I attach the small example, and I believe this comes from upstream.

Thanks!
Marco
