Patch proposal against CVS head (should work against gnumeric-1-2 also) (4.81 KB, patch)

Description Alex Stewart 2004-01-06 15:39:44 UTC 
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create a new spreadsheet.
2) Enter -5 into A1.
3) Select Format -> Cells.
4) Under the Number tab, select Currency as the Category.
5) Ensure that the first Negative number format (whose text is -$3210.21)
is selected. For me, it's selected by default.
6) Compare the ordering of the $ and - in the Preview and the Negative
number format list.

Expected Results
The Preview should show -$5.00.

Actual Results
The Preview shows $-5.00.

My system is Debian unstable, which is currently using gnumeric 1.2.4-3,
glibc 2.3.2.ds1-10 and LANG=en_CA.UTF-8.

That appears to solve the problem but its a bit intrusive for the
stable branch.  I'll commit to CVS head to get some testing then back
port in a few weeks if it works out.  Please remind me in about 1 month.

Thanks

Since we are planning no more 1.2.x releases, I'll close this report.
