1) Open a blank LibreOffice Calc document. 2) Enter 5 in A1, 3 in B1 and =A1-B1 in C1. 3) C1 displays 2: good 4) Right-click on A1, choose "Format Cells...". In tab "Numbers", take Category "Currency" and click "OK" (accepting the default currency format and locale). 5) Do the same on B1. 6) Now, A1 and B1 show currency values, but C1 shows a scalar (no currency) 7) Now, set the currency format on A2 and B2. Enter 5 and 3, respectively. In C2, enter =A2-B2. C2 displays a currency value. The result is different in C1 and C2. It should be the same. F9 and/or 'Menu Tools / Cell Contents / Recalculate' does not make a difference. Go to C1. Enter =A1-B1, that is the *same* formula that is already in it. *Now* it displays as a currency.

Seems like you've been playing around with currency a lot. Confirming, again changing version 3.6.5.2 :-D

This used to be a bug but is now expected behavior. We removed inherited number formats because they were horrible to maintain, contained many bugs (see this bug report) and a performance nightmare. Now you need to explicitly change number formats and number formats don't propagate any more. Only when the cell has not any set number format so for the first time you enter a formula the number format is calculated based on the input.
