Description Nikolaus 2004-01-19 15:42:08 UTC 
Start gnumeric with *exactly* these locales:

nikratio:~$ locale
LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro
LC_NUMERIC=POSIX
LC_TIME=de_DE@euro
LC_COLLATE=de_DE@euro
LC_MONETARY=de_DE@euro
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER=de_DE@euro
LC_NAME=de_DE@euro
LC_ADDRESS=de_DE@euro
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE@euro
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE@euro
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

(I think only LC_NUMERIC and LC_MONETARY are really relevant, but I don't
want to test each combination of every locale).

Type "22" into a cell. Format this cell as a number or currency. Be sure to
select "Use separator for 1000's" and 2 decimal digits.

The cell is now formatted as "22.0000" while it should be "22.00".

When you set LC_NUMERIC and LC_MONETARY to the same value or even when you
just switch the values, everything goes fine.

I think this must have something to do with the locale handling explained
in bug 131842.
Comment 1 Jody Goldberg 2004-02-02 05:22:36 UTC 
I've added a patch to both trees to catch a situation where
LC_NUMERIC and LC_MONETARY conflict.
