Description Jean-Sebastien Bevilacqua 2017-04-07 13:29:48 UTC 
Hello,
I have a question about a behavior which could be a bug.

Steps to reproduce:

1 - Open Calc
2 - Format the 2 first columns as text
3 - Write "test" in A1 and B1
4 - Insert a new column at the right of A, so "test" is in A1, C1
5 - Write a formula in B1 like =1+1
6 - The formula is displayed and not computed

Is this a normal behavior or a bug ?

Normal behaviour, cell attributes are copied from the selected column.

It seems that the cell attributes are copied when inserting a column at the right but not when inserting a column at the left.

I have found out that the new column always has the same attributes as the column to its left if there is one.
