Hi, When I fixed bug 33689 [1] to accept English number format in any locale, I forgot one possibility: user may insert text in number format without quotes (format remains valid if there is no ambiguity with format pattern). In this case, a previous valid format won't anymore be valid if it contains some English pattern. I'm trying to avoid such conflict in bug 114185 [2], and I found four possible ways to fix it: - a complex test [3] to detect the problem, and then either alert user or modify format string - add an option to accept English number format (set off as default) - revert resolution of bug 33689 - let it like it is, as such situation occurs only because user did not quote text, as requested in help [4]
Some expert advise, like Eike , would be greatly appreciated.
