custom format in Numbers cell

I'm trying to create a custom number format in a Numbers spreadsheet. I create the format, apply it to a cell, then when I exit / move from the cell, the cell format reverts to "Automatic".


The format I'm trying to create is


1234-567


and I'm doing it like this


####-###


where the "-" is typed (I also tried the "Space" token).


Any cell formatted with this custom format reverts to "Automatic".


What am I doing wrong?


Thanks!

I can't reproduce that problem here.
