Description b. 2020-03-14 19:29:19 UTC
Description:
the headline say's it all, imho a feature with known bugs shouldn't be on by default, and users should be informed about the risk when activating it. 

it affects e.g. bugs 124577 and 129753, stacks of 100+ cells sometimes produce wrong results on copies into the second cell from top. 

there are others like 98009 and 103532 up to now only 'solved wfm'. 



Steps to Reproduce:
1. check above mentioned bugs, 
2. see errors occuring with any parallelizing option enabled, 
3. see errors need recalculation, 
4. see errors re-occuring on sensitive actions after recalc, 
5. see errors hard to spot for normal users, 
6. i suggest to protect users from running the risk of such miscalculations without warning

Actual Results:
wrong results until manually triggered recalc, 

Expected Results:
correct results, autocalculate working as announced, 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

still a bug in 7.0.0.0.a1+, 

easy check: 

threaded or openCL or both enabled and active (restarted), 

A2: '=C1'
B2: '=A2+1' 
C2: '=B2'
A2:C2 - copy 
A3:A101 - paste (minimum length to get 100 identical formulas)
copy any of A2 or A4:A101 to A3
see B3, C3 and A4:C101 wrong

ctrl-shift-F9 heals but user doesn't know that it's neccessary, 

as you see: not reliable, shouldn't be on by defult for productive systems, 

(same error for copies from B2;B4:B101 to B3 or from C2;C4:C101 to C3)
