LibreOffice Calc Version: 5.3.1.2 Build ID: 1:5.3.1-0ubuntu2 Ubuntu 17.04 x64 on a MacBook Retina Pro With Formula Syntax RC, and AutoInput on, entering a formula ending with the relative column reference, i.e. a trailing 'C' in a reference such as 'R[1]C' or 'R2C' causes Calc to suggest 'Ceiling()' function. If the C is followed by another symbol such as a '+' Calc accepts the reference. Turning off 'Tools - AutoInput' stops this behaviour for new entries, but not when editing formulae which have already been entered. If 'AutoInput' is on when the reference is entered for the first time, then the formula autocompletes to 'Ceiling()'. I overrode that by entering the column number: 'R98C1' With AutoInput off, the same cell when edited to '=R98C' autocompletes to 'Ceiling()', whereas entering the same formula in another cell '=R98C' does not provoke autocomplete. If I completely overwrite the first cell ('=R98C1') with the formula '=R98C' with the same formula, it accepts it. If AutoInput is turned on again, both cells autocomplete to 'Ceiling()' If the cell (e.g. 'R4C') hasn't been referenced already, it autocompletes to 'Ceiling()'. If it has been used already then it accepts the reference. This bug is a significant issue when editing formulae which have been entered with AutoInput on. As a rule, if RC formula referencing is in use then any expression starting 'R?C' or 'R[?]C' shouldn't be subject to autocomplete; the issue seems to be that autocomplete doesn't recognise RC references. I understand that it is possible to cancel autocomplete suggestions using the Delete key, however Mac keyboards don't have a Delete key so this workaround is not available to me. The same behaviour applies to the R in RC references, however as this is followed by another character, the autocomplete suggestion is overridden. Can I suggest that a filter is added in AutoInput to detect RC references and avoid autocompleting them?
Reproduced. For testers: Tools - Options - LibreOffice Calc - Formula - Formula syntax Tools - Autoinput I don't know, if Mac keyboards have an Esc key nowadays, but it can also be used to cancel out of the autocomplete.
