Default Cell formated as text changes when copied

Spreadsheet with 10 rows (all formated as text) and 1 column. I enter the
string: Usages in 1900 - 1905 in the top row. I select the top row and catch
the sqaure at the lower right corner and "copy" the text to the next 9 rows.

The text in the second line is now "Usages in 1900 - 1901"
in the third row it is "Usages in 1900 - 1902"
and so on.

Why is the text changing?
