Description tab 2010-11-30 15:30:28 UTC 
in Format.ods, col A has been formated for dates YYYY-MM-DD, col B in font 
CourierNew, number 0.00.
Select A3-B3, drag it to A4-B4, leaving A3-B3 blank; enter '9-14' in A3, get 
'09/14/10' (old format); enter '7' in B3, get '7' in Arial instead of '7.00' in 
CourierNew.
It's understandable --blank cells get the default format-- but annoying in most 
cases.
Suggested enhancement: when a whole column has been formatted (by clicking its 
header A, B, ..), the format should be inherited by any empty row. The user can 
always reformat individual cells.
The current behaviour could be retained if the special format was applied to a 
block of cells instead of a whole column.
