Description Frank Schönheit 2002-10-18 15:11:47 UTC 
* open a new text document
* insert a grid control (no need to bind it to any data source)
* insert a "Date Field" column
* set the formatting of the column to anything except "Standard (short)"
* save the document
* reload the document
=> the format of the date field column is "Standard (short)"

P2, because of data loss

Comment 2 Frank Schönheit 2002-10-18 15:48:19 UTC 
discover another problem while examining this:

* new text doc, new grid control therein
* insert a formatted field column
* assign any user-defined format (for instance YYYY+MM+DD)
* save the document
* open it in another OpenOffice.org installation
=> the formatting is lost. When the control and the column are bound
to a database column, you clearly see this.
No matter if the control and the column are bound: it's impossible to
change any property of the column from now on, as the property browser
stays completely empty for this special column.
(from what's happening there in the code, I assume that on non-windows
machines, it will crash due to an access violation which is caught on
windows systems only)
Comment 3 Frank Schönheit 2002-10-18 15:54:38 UTC 
update:
it's not even necessary to open the document with the formatted field
column in another installation. It's enough to close OpenOffice.org
(including the quickstarter) and restart, and then load the document
again to get the effects described above.
Changing to P1. This is way too much data loss for my taste.
