Follow-up Comment #6, bug #53401 (project octave):
@Muhali:
Just occurred to me:
The LO bug is probably related to the infamous Excel bug that Excel
incorrectly thinks 1900 is a leap year.
I guess LO folks thought that the first -what is it- 59 days of 1900 wouldn't
matter compared to the rest of the 20th century and 21th up til now.
I'll attach a pic of Excel and LO side-by-side showing the same .xslx file.
Starting in March 1900 the dates are in sync.
(file #43651)
