From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040124 Description of problem: There is a bug in OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 that displays dates in April incorrectly. It is described in qa.openoffice.org at http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=17222 An example is typing 4/11 in Calc while in year 2004. The date won't format correctly, even if you've correctly setup the cell formatting to Date format. Other years have other dates as problems, example, for year 2005 it's 4/10. This has been fixed in OpenOffice.org 1.1.1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Calc 1.1.0. 2. Enter the date 4/11/04 in Cell A1. 3. Enter the date 4/12/04 in Cell A2. 4. Enter the date 4/13/04 in Cell A3. 5. Enter the date 4/10/05 in Cell A4. 6. Format all cells to date, preferably something easier to read, like "April 11, 2004". Actual Results: The dates 4/11/04 and 4/10/05 are not formatted correctly. Expected Results: The dates mentioned above should have been formatted correctly. Additional info: This has been fixed in OpenOffice.org 1.1.1, according to the QA link mentioned above. I am hoping that OpenOffice.org 1.1.1 is released as an update for FC1 or that, if easy enough, the fix is backported.
Dan, how's this bug going? FC2 users still report it, can it be repeated in Rawhide? Relevant bug from upstream: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=24082 Bug initially filed under FC1, so this is now a Legacy issue - Dexter (bug reporter), please file this at Legacy's bugzilla - bugzilla.fedora.us
Roger dodger. Bug filed for Fedora Legacy at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2162 with info updating to the link from comment #1 regarding fix as actually in 1.1.2 and not fully in 1.1.1.
Yeah, this fix is in the 1.1.2 that we now have in fc2/fc2/rawhide, all should be well on supported releases.
