Description Germán Poo-Caamaño 2002-01-24 18:41:34 UTC 
1. Enter any number in a cell.
2. Set format Numeric, without decimals, witkh delimiters.
   In spanish locale, "." is the separator.
   After that, the number looks like "22.990".
3. When edit the number (F2) in the entry text appears
   "22.990", just hit Enter again.  Now is a string,
   not a number.
4. F2 again.  Now is '22.990.

Value expected: "22.990" as number.
Comment 1 Jody Goldberg 2002-01-24 19:27:41 UTC 
The bug is not quite as you portray it but it is very real.
Hitting F2 in your example would put 
    22990
in the edit field.  However, we were not correctly parsing a number entered as
22.990.  This is fixed in CVS.  There will be a point release to correct the bug.
A typo slipped in back towards the end of Oct, and noone reported it.

Thanks
