not saving number format changes?

I change 23.00 to 23, save the report, close it, open it back up and it hasn't changed. It's a new install and I haven't registered yet. Could that be it? Everything else saves and every once in a while (1 out of maybe 15 times saving to different files and folders and reimporting subreports) it will save, but I haven't been able to reproduce the workaround or it's just random.
 
Hi,
Is that figure coming from a field in the data or from a formula you created?

They're formulas, but I'm not specifying a format. I'll try putting the format in the formula.
 
Okay, when I change only the ones that are messed up, the change is recorded when I save.

There were several fields where I needed to change the format mixed up with others that didn't need changing and I was just selecting them all and changing the number format. When I only select the ones that need changing, I can save and reopen the report and they'll have stayed changed.

Should this reported as a bug?
