Repeat of my previous bug report on date validation.
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: Gnumeric Severity: major Version: 1.0.4 Synopsis: Repeat of my previous bug report on date validation. Bugzilla-Product: Gnumeric Bugzilla-Component: General Description: This is a repeat of a bug I just reported, but I did NOTHING else that might confuse the matter, too bad its not compile for debugging. So I start up gnumeric, select the A column, select Format Cells, date (yyyy/mmm/dd) and then choose the validation widget, Criteria was Date and Error Alert was Stop. I then try typing in "aslkjfd" or something like that and it crashes. I look forward to 2.0! Debugging Information: (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...

*** Bug 71172 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I've patched the crash there were actually several levels of failure. The date validation had not been adequately tested. Sorry. However, it does not actually do anything differently than a number. I have no idea what XL does here. If you are interested I'd appreciate some research. Tha patch will be in 1.0.5 due March 1, and 1.1
