Hello list,

consider the following example:

|        A |         B |         C |
|----------+-----------+-----------|
| 07:11:00 | -08:00:00 | -01:11:00 |
#+TBLFM: $3=$1+$2;T

I think the result in the third column is wrong.  I expect 0 hours and 49 
minutes, negative (-00:49:00).

The following does not work, too:

|        A |         C |
|----------+-----------|
| 07:11:00 | -01:11:00 |
#+TBLFM: $2=$1-28800;T

Anyone?  It might be a duplicate of what Gustav Wiktröm reported on 1st of 
September, but his problem was not resolved, either.

At first I wondered if Calc was treating these numbers as angles
(degrees, minutes, seconds) but I really can't explain these results:

I can't see straight at this time of the night, but aren't all these formulas equivalent to
a column formula?

#+TBLFM: $3 = $1 - $2;T

Assuming that's the case, the problem is that org-table-time-to-string assumes that it is given
a positive number and mishandles negative numbers, eg. the first row in the last table invokes:

,----
| (org-table-time-seconds-to-string -59 nil)
| "-01:59:01"
`----


I didn't check carefully, but it looks as if the other-way function,
org-table-time-string-to-seconds, deals correctly with "negative" time
strings.

What may be a leading hint is that even

| -28799 | -08:00:01 |
#+TBLFM: $2=$1;T

does not deliver correct results.  It should deliver -07:59:59.
