Description davidpbrown 2019-01-23 22:31:18 UTC
Simple unexpected result from cut-paste of formulas:
1. Create a cell with content eg A1
2. Create another cell linked to that with formula "=A1"
3. Cut the formula with Ctrl-X
4. Paste to any other cell with Ctrl-V, works.
5. Undo.
6 .Paste again with Ctrl-V and it fails as a redone formula relative to the distance of the new cell from original cell, instead of see the same result.

Problem then for lack of visibility of that difference and likely introduction of errors, on the back of minor corrections of intent to paste to one cell and putting wrongly and re-correcting, which potentially might occur frequently enough to not be minor.

already reproducible with AOO 4.1.5

- A1 Hello
- B1 =A1
- ctrl+x (cut)
- select B2 
- ctrl+v (paste)
- B2 =A1
- ctrl+z (undo)
- ctrl+v (paste)
- B2 =A2

Dear davidpbrown,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Warm Regards,
QA Team
