Created attachment 72642 [details] referencing deleted row/column I have cells referencing a previous row/column. When I delete that referenced row/column then the formula shows "#REF!". I expect it to reference the new row/column which is now its previous one. I have attached a simple test file. Either delete row 2 or delete column B. When deleting row 2, I expect D3 (which will then be D2) to show the content of C1. When deleting column B, I expect D1 (which will then be C1) to show the content of the new B1 (which was C1). Using an absolut reference ($B$1) does not work.
This bug still exists on v4.0.0.3 release
reproducible with LO 4.0.1.2 (Win7 Home, 64bit), but I am not sure if this is a bug
deleting referenced cells (delete row/column) must not be allowed - at least not without warning this is especially enoying if the referencing cell is on another tab and sometimes the missing reference is only detected after hours/month and no one remembers what the source has been a must for a "business" tool

(In reply to comment #3) > ... - at least > not without warning I tend to agree with Ferdinand, maybe popup box warning should be sufficient. Btw Kingsoft Office and AOO 4.1.0 also behave like LO currently, don't know with MSO.
I could test it with MSO2010 and the behaviour is the same as LO does. Maybe this was working with an older version of MSO?

Installed v5.0.2 and issue still exists
This is not a bug. References referencing exactly one deleted sheet/column/row are invalidated if that very sheet/column/row is deleted, never point to something different after.
