Description xandrani 2010-04-22 22:17:01 UTC 
When I type 1+ in a previously empty table cell the plus sign immediately
disappears.

Quite bizarre.

If I put another character immediately after the plus sign then it seems to work.

Precise steps to reproduce:

1) Start a new blank document.
2) Insert a 2 by 2 table.
3) Type "1+" ignoring quotes in to the top left cell.
4) If you type space now or click away from where the carat is now then the +
disappears.

Attempts to fix this issue:
1) Googled it and couldn't find anything.
2) FAQ currently has a database error (have emailed the webmaster ;))
3) Switched off ALL autocorrect features.
4) Tried trawling through options but didn't find anything obvious.

If this isn't a software bug then it's definitely a design bug as it's a highly
irrational piece of behaviour.  By default this behaviour if expected should be
disabled at the very least.

Step 4) in the section "Precise steps to reproduce:" should read:

4) If you click away from where the carat is now then the + disappears.

Uncheck "Number recognition" in the context menu of the table.
