Description francesco pignatelli 2013-08-11 09:50:02 UTC
With LO 4.10 create a new sheet and enter a value wathsoever in a cell, let’s say in D5 enter “ok”

enter in anoter cell e.g. G5 the formula “=D5”

Now in cell G5 same value of D5 is displayed, i.e. “ok”.

Now add a column between columns A and D, for example add a column between existing columns B and C. Former cell D5 is now E5 (still with value “NO”) and former cell G5 is now H5, still with formula “=E5” and display “NO” 

Change the value of cell E5, enetring for example “Yes”, formula in H5 is still “=E5”, but display has not been recalculated, and is still “NO”.

Current behavior:

Value displayed in cell H5 remains "NO" (the previous value of cell E5

Expected behavior:

The new value "YES" should be displayed.

It happens in windows XP, Seven, Linux Debian (Sid) and PCLinux OS. LO release 4.0.4.2 was not affected (at least in Debian Sid)

I have noticed the same issue, using libreoffice 4 some months ago, on Mac OS X.
I think the issue also concerned version 3 and openoffice, I think I tried but don't remember.

I have also seen someone on ubuntuforums having the same issue:

PS. (rant)
I think this issue is really serious. I stopped using spreadsheet software for my science after noting this. AWK scripts or a full RDBMS should not be the most simple option in 2013!

scalc

If I add a note in a cell I can't modify it size.

seems like bug information was changed here accidentally...

this is definitely critical, since it causes display of erroneous numbers.
Comment 5 Markus Mohrhard 2013-09-07 11:28:15 UTC
Eike fixed that already. SHould be in 4.1.1 or later. Please test with 4.1.1 and/or a 4-1 daily build.
