Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 25976
in scientific mode, moving the decimal point AND display negative in red does not work
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:41:32 UTC
In scientific-mode these buttons cannot be used to shift the decimal-point. (In Excel this works.) Please have a look at the attached screenshot to see what I mean.

Hi Norbert, Prio to high and not a defect. I changed Issue type and Prio. Frank
Hi Frank, This is a defect. This function is thought to move the decimal point. I changed issue type.
It's an enhancement as this never worked as you've described. And please do not change Issue types if someone has re-assigned an Issue to a developer or the feature group. Such guys could easily identified by the two or three character names they have. Frank
I have attached another screenshot: Not only these buttons do not work for scientific numbers, also in the format- window (please have a look at the attached screenshot below) the elements to move the decimal point AND the function to display negative in red are locked. I think both should also work for scientific numbers! (I have changed the summary.)
