Description Karoly Gossler 'connor' 2016-11-12 16:23:14 UTC
Steps:
1, Create new calc spreadsheet document
2, Create new sheet named "Sheet2"
3, Fill every sheets like this:

A1: 45
B1: 2
C1: =A1*B1

4, Cut the A1:C1 range from Sheet1
5, Paste the clipboard to A2:C2 on Sheet2

Facts:
- In C1 cell the expected result is =A1*B1 but there is =Sheet2.A1*Sheet2.B1
- Formula with the current sheet name is unnecessary and hard to read in the case of complicated forumas.
- This bug rewrites every formulas in the document.
- This bug can crash the calc in the case of big document.
- Sometimes the forumla rewrite can breaks the foruma.
- Tested on platform OSX and linux
- Copy/paste not affected.

... - 4.3.0.4: not affeced
4.3.1.2 - 4.3.7.2: partially affected (rewrites only the pasted formula)
4.4.0.3 - master~2016-11-12_00.32.05 build: affected

This seems like it might have been done on purpose....I don't see the problem.

"unnecessary" based on? It might be necessary in some way that you are not aware of (or that I'm not aware of). It also is nice because it indicates that a copy/paste was done which I think could in theory be useful.

> - This bug rewrites every formulas in the document.
Further proof that it was intentional.

> - This bug can crash the calc in the case of big document.
Sample document?

> - Sometimes the forumla rewrite can breaks the foruma.
Sample document?

The bug rewrites everything on Sheet3.
My modifications only done on Sheet1 and Sheet2.

Comment 5 MM 2016-11-13 01:32:42 UTC
Unconfirmed with v3.3.4 under windows 7 x64.
Confirmed with v5.1.6.2 under windows 7 x64.

I see the problem.

When -copying- for example A1:C3 from sheet 1 to sheet 2, nothing happens, the formula stays the same.
When doing a -cut- & -paste- A1:C3 from sheet 1 to sheet 2, the formula not only changes in sheet 2, but also in sheet 1 & 3. But, the forumla only gets changed after you paste it.
Happens with options > formula > default *and* custom... (opencl).

Dunno if it's intented, looks pretty weird to me if suddenly *all* of these formulas in a document got changed. Maybe it still gives the right outcome, but I don't think any user wants it intentionally changed.
Comment 6 Terrence Enger 2016-11-17 17:45:31 UTC
It seems to me that the qualification of cell references after
copy-and-paste is not clearly wrong.  However, I note that if the
program has qualified cell references other than those is Sheet2.C1,
the other references remain qualified after <Undo><Undo>.

I have bibisected in the Linux 44max bibisect repository on
debian-sid; to summarize the results ...

    commit    s-h       references after cut-and-paste
    --------  --------  ------------------------------------------
    feed1c07  52d21ee6  Sheet2.C1 and Sheet1.C2 unqualified
    7c055d90  5e55d5ff  Sheet2.C1 qualified, Sheet1.C2 unqualified
    93992fcd  5b7920ee  Sheet2.C1 qualified, Sheet1.C2 unqualified
    1b5ce0c2  31abf4ce  Sheet2.C1 and Sheet1.C2 qualified

Details coming soon.

I am removing keyword bibisectRequest and adding bisected, and I am
adding Matthew Francis to cc.

Comment 10 Xisco Faulí 2016-11-18 21:34:16 UTC
Hello Terrence,
so which bibisect output do we have to take into account? the partial one or the all one?
Comment 11 Terrence Enger 2016-11-21 19:22:44 UTC
When MM confirmed the bug in comment 5, he mentioned seeing only the
"all" behaviour.  I guess that means that the "all" behaviour is the
bug.

I will admit that the result is a bit strange, but I, myself, do not
find it clearly wrong.

Well, it's more than a bit strange, it's also unwanted. If you change just one thing in 1 sheet and every formula in every other sheet is changed, that's not good, as the user didn't opted for that.

Not sure whether Eike's done with his follow-up fixes... I'll give it some time and close this as fixed unless we have new discoveries.
