Description OfficeUser 2012-02-08 13:39:31 UTC
This bug report is about the input field in the calc toolbar, where the name of the selected cell/range is displayed. By default after opening a blank spreadsheet it displays "A1".


Bug Report:
- Open a blank spreadsheet: Note A1 is displayed in the cell reference field
- Go to "Tools/Options.../LibreOffice Calc/Formula"
- Change "Formula syntax" to "Excel R1C1"
- Click OK

Note: The reference field still displays "A1".

- Move the cursor right and left: Now "R1C1" is displayed as expected.

@Eike: I set keyword "easyHack". Is that ok?
Comment 12 Eike Rathke 2022-07-13 08:53:28 UTC
Only if it was identified as an EasyHack and the difficulty level has been determined and code pointers are provided so a new dev can dive into it. Hence I removed it again.

Dear OfficeUser,

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
