Description Georg 2025-09-30 08:04:55 UTC
Description:
Having a validaten Rule with a cell area as criterion (others not tested) and try to change just the area for example from $work.$A$5:$A$10 to $work.$A$5:$A$20 calc goes crazy. For example if you have more than one table, you can't change tables. No reaction. For a double click, the "change table name" window apears, but thats all. Even close Calc didn't work. I had to close with taskman.
(sorry for my bad english, I'm german :) )

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open empty calc, add a second table and go back to the first one
2. enter A1:A3 three lines of simple words for the validation rule base
3. goto A10, from the menu open data, validation rule, accept cell area, source A1:A3 and OK
4: try to change to the second table - not possible

Actual Results:
You can't change to the second table
You can't close Calc (except with TaskManager)
But you can save the table!

Expected Results:
normal working spreadsheet


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
With the recovered table (reloaded calc) you can try to change the validation rule again (for example from A1:A3 to A1:A5). Being back in the table the error resume, you can't switch to the second table or close Calc.
