I am presuming that the "cell-format bug" that people are talking about is transferring from Excel?

I am not transferring from Excel, instead I am trying to create a spreadsheet from scratch in Gnumeric and have umpteen problems with the Format Cells dialog boxes.

The Categories needs a scrubber bar on it. The workaround is to single tap the stylus in this field and then use the navigation pad to cursor down one at a time.

Despite this, when you get down to "Custom" formats the right-hand side dialog goes all "wacko" on you. and partial bars and text appear overwritten.

The Alignment tab also has problems in that all of the controls seem to overwrite each other and run off the display.

Font, too has problems in that the dialog columns overrun the checkboxes and dialog box.

The Border tab Line style table runs off the page behind the cancel and OK buttons.

Likewise, the Background tab has the style table running off the bottom of the display behind the Help button.

The Validation tab is also badly misaligned and the alerts run off the bottom of the screen.

With these types of problems, shouldn't this distribution be classified a "beta"?
