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.
