Eike, one for you

I guess one of my next pet peeve long term projects will be to build up a
"system locale". Reassigning to spare time account.
Issue 51662 is related.
Comment 5 Dotan Cohen 2009-07-07 17:54:58 UTC
Why is this marked as Feature? It is clearly a bug.
Comment 6 mestech 2009-07-07 21:02:29 UTC
This is an issue for non-windows users.  On Linux you have to modify your
LC_TIME settings to get the date formats in a way you prefer.  Not the best
approach but if OOo doesn't use the locale format that is on the account/system,
then it would be better to be able to set the default format within the
application properties.

In a multi-user setting where users set up their home accounts with different
locale settings, it may be necessary to look at the individual user locale
settings instead of the system wide settings.  Again, setting the locale
settings within the application make this easier.
Comment 7 Dotan Cohen 2009-07-09 15:16:00 UTC
So issues for non-Windows users are features, not bugs?
Comment 8 Marcus 2017-05-20 11:33:24 UTC
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
