First of all: I cannot tell how to reproduce the issue. Second: I didn drink alcohol. Working in LibO V6.1.0.1RC Calc on a large sheet linked by a questioner into his post in a forum after a while I suddenly had the situation that main parts of the formulas contained in some cells I selected one by one were displayed in the 'Name Box' and reversely the cell addresses were displayed in the 'Input Line'. Unfortunately I wasn't quick-witted enough to take the oportunity of a thoroughly planned research including cells with constant contents, entering into both the afflicted controls, selecting ranges and a different sheet and more. When I had confirmed the basic fact for about a dozen cells, I made a test I should have deferred: I forced a recalculation and the issue had vanished when that was done.

Please change it back to > 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested document is provided. I have the document I once experienced the mentioned behaviour in. Its a 18MiByte thing provided by a questioner in forum.openoffice.org/en via an upload service to get help. It was edited by me experimnting with some ideas concerning his problem. It was -at least- recalcultaed since, most likely also changed otherwise. However, the effect vanished after my mentioned action and did not come back since. I have no clue what parts of it may be in any way related to the miracle. I therefore also have no clue waht I might remove without also removing the possible cause. I can only tell that there were two "automatic cell styles" pointing to a probable episode of editing in Excel, and that it made use of FILTERXML() and WEBSERVICE() what rarely occurs with uploaded fles. Shorter conclusion: I didn't post this bug report in the hope there would soon be a confirmation or a fix. It was thought as a contact-point and an attractor for others experiencing similar behaviour. May be there is a reproducible situation reported then. Sorry.
ok, let's keep it in NEEDINFO for the time being. If you report it again, please change it back to UNCONFIRMED! Thanks!

I was aware of the fact that the bug couldn't be fought based on the information I was able to provide. From my Comment #2 : "I didn't post this bug report in the hope there would soon be a confirmation or a fix. It was thought as a contact-point and an attractor for others experiencing similar behaviour. May be there is a reproducible situation reported then." Based on this comment Xsisco Fauli (Comment # 3) decided to keep the bug in. NEEDINFO.
Hello Wolfgang, A new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
The mentioned behaviour was observed exactly one and is clearly not reproducible. Nobody else left a confiming comment. Therefore I think the attampt to offer an "anchor" for users making similar observations is obsolete. Setting to RESOLVED WORKSFORME.
