Description Zeki Bildirici 2019-12-23 16:25:03 UTC
Description:
I've updated LibreOffice to 6.3.3 and now I face a strange problem.
I'm using two stock market programs and I receive data by using DDE Links. Until 6.3.3 it was working perfectly but somehow LibreOffice Calc started to convert DDE link reference to small caps and thus broke data update returning a Error 509, entering the code manually doesn't work either, Calc converts it to small caps too 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy a DDE Link or write an external Link. Two different examples:
 a) =FX|'ARCLK.ISE'!'Last''
or
 b) =MTX|DATA!'ARCLK.SON'

2. Paste it to an empty Calc cell
3. 

Actual Results:
Calc converts the code as: 

1 -  a) =fx;'arclk.ıse'!'last'
     b) =mtx;data!'arclk.son'

Expected Results:
Calc should not change the capitalization


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I'm not sure about the previous version working version of LibreOffice so i am attaching the original file. I've reinstalled Windows and reinstalled LibreOffice so no data available about the previous version.

Please verify it is not a problem with Menu/tools/Options/LibreOffice calc/Formula - Formula options - formula syntax.
