[Bug 120383] New: Remove/disable date automatic reformat
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120383
Priority: P3
Bug ID: 120383
Assignee: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org
Summary: Remove/disable date automatic reformat
Severity: blocker
Issue Type: DEFECT
Classification: Application
OS: Linux
Reporter: jacob@frende.me
Hardware: PC
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: AOO 3.4.0
Component: editing
Product: spreadsheet
I cannot express out much of a pain in the ass this "feature" is, nor how many
hours I have lost trying to figure out how to turn it off, only to find out it
can't be turned off, only hacked around. Even completely turning off
Auto-correct does not disable this feature. This is beyond ridiculous. I have
yet to meet anyone who finds this "feature" useful--just hundreds upon hundreds
of people with abject frustration.
I work with CSV files which are plain-text and do not support formatting of any
kind. Unfortunately both Apple and Microsoft also are under the mistaking
impression that this "feature" is essential, and it can't be disabled in their
software either. This feature makes OOo Calc worse than useless.
This is a duplicate of https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=33723
where developers argue users want this feature and the users insist repeatedly
they don't.
At the very worst I should have to enable this feature, so cut this shit out.

If your CSV file is plain-text, then import it as plain text. If your file
contains data fields with numbers or dates, a proper import is possible too.
Write to the mailing list ooo-users@incubator.apache.org or use the forum
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/ to learn how to do it. Up to now
I never got a CSV file which I could not import properly.
