RESOLVED NOTABUG. Autocorrect feature defaults have 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 replacements with corresponding fraction character from fontset. Autocorrect is immediately reverted with <Ctl>-Z

Alternative entry using correct date format of 03/04/13 avoids autocorrect. Or, autocorrect replacement can be eliminated by deletion of 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 entries in the Replace tab.

Possible UX enhancement to change Autocorrect function for date formatted fields, but not a MAB.
