Description Adam Dingle 2013-03-26 15:13:36 UTC 
I'm running Gnumeric 1.12.1 on Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring).  When I select cells and open the Format Cells dialog, the Currency format doesn't provide a field for selecting a currency symbol.  I'm pretty sure that in earlier versions of Gnumeric the field was there.

(As a workaround, I can select the Accounting format, choose a currency symbol there, then switch back to the Currency format - the symbol I selected in Accounting will be used in Currency.)
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2013-03-26 22:11:40 UTC 
The code in go-format-sel.c indicates that the symbol seelctor should be shown for currency too:

	/* Setup handler Currency & Accounting currency symbols */

...

		/* Currency */
		{
			F_CURRENCY_EXPLANATION,
			F_DECIMAL_GRID,
			F_DECIMAL_LABEL,
			F_DECIMAL_SPIN,
			F_SEPARATOR,
			F_SYMBOL_LABEL,
			F_SYMBOL,
			F_NEGATIVE_LABEL,
			F_NEGATIVE_SCROLL,
			F_NEGATIVE,
			F_MAX_WIDGET
		},
		/* Accounting */
		{
			F_ACCOUNTING_EXPLANATION,
			F_DECIMAL_GRID,
			F_DECIMAL_LABEL,
			F_DECIMAL_SPIN,
			F_SYMBOL_LABEL,
			F_SYMBOL,
			F_MAX_WIDGET
		},

It is not clear to me why it isn't shown (unless it is in fact shown but located behind the format listing).

My bad, apologies.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.

Fantastic - thanks for the quick fix!

I just hope I did not break something else, this dialog box is a bit complex.
