Comment 21 for bug 391572

What is holding up the resolution of this annoying bug?
If you need code, then kspread works correctly. It is open source and I'm sure
you could see how it works.

This is a BUG - not intended behaviour! can cause BIG problems when attempting
to use dates, for example if a cell contains 2008-01-06 (the ISO date format)
and I want to edit this date, the input line shows 06/01/2008 - What does this mean?

Come on, it's one thing to admit that it is a problem and you're going to fix
it, another to pretend that this is 'intended behaviour'

It is problems like this that make me look stupid when I try to convert people
from xl
