Description aplatypus 2019-01-07 21:32:28 UTC
Description:
For example this formular may not be entered:

  ="repay loan funds, "&R[-7]C

Every attempt to enter this formula results in a field with value (contents) of:

   [repay loan funds,]

Where brackets are purely delimiters.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select a cell
2. Type the following formula: ="repay loan funds, "&R[-7]C
3. Press enter -- Pop-up appears to edit /change formula
4. Press NO to keep what has been entered.

Actual Results:
formula is not entered correctly, no matter what option is chosen

Expected Results:
I was forced to change the formula content until I could come up with something calc would accept.


Reproducible: Always
