In addition to the worksheet name in a formula, an item to also check is whether the path to another workbook is correctly pasted when copy-pasting formulas directly from the cell when Show Formulas is ON.
The formula =$Sheet2.A1 is actually =$#REF!.A1 so references are still valid when you rename Sheet2. It's not an implementation error but needs to be considered on copy. Meanwhile you can copy from the edit mode.

The point here is to be able to copy the content of multiple cells.
(In reply to ady from comment #6) > I'm confused. What STR are you using in order to get #REF? Paste as unformatted text or paste into a text editor, some input line... the actual content is a variable.

But that is not the original STR of this report. You are not supposed to copy the input line of some variable content. While showing formulas, you are supposed to copy the cell (which contains a formula pointing to a different worksheet), directly, no edit mode, no input box.
(In reply to ady from comment #8) > But that is not the original STR of this report. Yes, this report is about missing sheet names in formulas copied in 'View Formulas' mode and pasted for example into Notepad.exe, Notepad++ etc. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #5) > The formula =$Sheet2.A1 is actually =$#REF!.A1 so references are still valid > when you rename Sheet2. Checking your consideration, I have noticed that after renaming the sheet, the formula works properly, but the text of this formula remains unchanged (as it was when the formula was created). So this is not an issue connected with ticket number 159871. Is this necessary to make another bug report about following sheet names in formulas?
(In reply to Piotr Osada from comment #9) > after renaming the sheet (...) the text of this formula remains unchanged In addition, even after saving as, and reopening the file, the formula still contains the inappropriate old sheet name.

This report is simple to reproduce. Worksheet renaming has nothing to do with this report (and I am not reproducing such behavior either). Moreover, the problem reported in this tdf#159871 can be replicated in LO 7.6 and older versions too; just use menu Tools > Options > LibreOffice Calc > View > Formulas, instead of using menu View > Show Formulas. Let's please keep the conversation on topic.
