Silly cell overflow (######) with 0EE+00 format

1. Enter 42 in A1. 2. Format A1 as 0EE+00 3. Shrink A until A1 overflows. Observe #####^{##} I don't think formatting should be kept when we overflow. At least not superscript and character width.
For reference, Excel keeps the colour of the number and applies that to the overflow hashes.
This is partially fixed. We are removing the superscript/subscript, scale and shape attributes. This is still open since the hash marks are located slightly to high. (The layout is drawn with the old height calculation. The height should be recalculated.)
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
