Description Dominik 2014-07-25 11:34:31 UTC

as soon as a conditional formatting is added, the $'s disappear.

reproducible: always

steps:
# open calc
# format -> conditional formatting -> manage
# choose anything, select a cell or range (notice the default $'s for absolute reference)
# click OK
# range is displayed as relative reference (without $'s)

Confirmed:

New - confirmed
Major - loss of data
High - default seems fine

regression - works on 3.3 at least

Updating version to 4.2.6.2 rc as I've confirmed on that version (version is the oldest version that we can confirm on not the latest - we just use comments on that)

Are you guys talking about the range field?

Comment 3 Joel Madero 2014-07-30 03:23:50 UTC

@Markus - Indeed and I just realized I was comparing two different things (the dialog looks different in 3.3). I can't confirm that this is a regression so removing regression and bibisectRequest + updating version

Verified same issue: 4.1.4.2 release

Comment 4 Markus Mohrhard 2014-07-30 14:05:58 UTC

Which makes this bug report invalid.

That is a range and not a reference and ranges are never absolute or relative. This just represents a range in a sheet.
