Description Jan Willies 2007-08-08 12:55:09 UTC 
Currently when I enter 08.08.2007 it becomes 08082007 (with LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"), although the dot is used as thousands separator in de_DE locale (see /usr/share/i18n/locales/de_DE) and thousands separator is just ignored by gnumeric. There should be three digits between two of them.

                      format_match_decimal_number

This is gnumeric-1.7.8 on xubuntu-7.04. Please mail me if you need more information.
