Hi, all. It's been a long time since I've run into a problem of any significance, so posting here before I look up how to report a bug (partly to see if this really is one).
In a Writer document, I have three Right tab stops set, to show staggered columns of numbers. When I type a large number, though, with commas separating the thousands, the tab stop starts acting as a Decimal stop instead of Right. For example, if I type 1,234,567 it acts as though the tab stop is a Decimal stop and the comma between the 4 and the 5 is a decimal point. Might this be a bug? As a secondary note: I don't think this one is a bug, but it's certainly unexpected behavior. Because I was in a hurry to get a report out to a client I tried the same numbers in a spreadsheet, again expecting the columns would be overlapping. Numeric values, though, won't overflow the cell the way text does, even when the cell is specifically right-justified. Again, I was in a hurry so I just entered all the numbers as text, but then had to do my own calculations to show totals (no biggie, since I would have had to do that anyway in the Writer document, but annoying in a spreadsheet). The question is really about the first item -- the second one is just a minor gripe. Do y'all think this is a bug, or is there some rational reason the program should behave this way?
