copie d'écran d'une partie de feuille CALC après collage spécial de M4111 sur M412..M420

quand on copie les formules( uniquement : pas de format ni autre chose) à partir de cellules fusionnées vers des cellules fusionnées de même format à l'aide de la commande COPIER  -  COLLAGE SPECIAL  , certaines des cellules réceptrices (et même parfois des cellules non concernées par la copie comme sur l'exemple reproduit en pièce jointe) sont défusionnées !

Translation: 
Concerning the screenshot: after paste special of M4111 on M412..M420.

When formula are copied (only: format not anything else) from merged cells to merged cells on the same format using Paste > Paste special, some of the target cells (and sometimes even non concerned cells like in the sample) are split!

@Michel: can you please join the original spreadsheet please. Thanks - Sophie

bonsoir Sophie
merci de vous intéresser aux bugs LibreOffice et à celui que j'ai signalé en particulier.
j'ai rencontré ce gug très souvent (et même systématiquement) en travaillant sur le fichier dont je joins une des versions. en fait, j'ai artificiellement reproduit le bug exprès pour créer la copie d'écran que j'ai jointe au "signalement". j'ai d'autres bugs ou anomalies de fonctionnement à signaler ; ce sera pour plus tard ! vous avez du pain sur la planche ! bon courage !

Hi Michel, 
Thanks for your feedback, but two things:
- as you may have noticed, English only speaking is accepted here (that allow QA members and developers to have a chance to work on your problem)
- don't reply to the mail you receive, but comment on the but you opened. 

So translation of

I've met this bug very often (even systematically) while working on the file which I join a version. Actually, I've artificially reproduced the bug to take the screenshot.

The rest is concerning other bugs Michel has encountered, which he will report later, fortunately in English :)

Reproduced on LibO4.2.0.1 rc1 with Win7

Steps :
- in a new spreadsheet,
- merge A1 and B1, fill it with "old",
- merge A2 and B2, fill it with "new",
- select A2:B2, copy, select A1:B1, note that A2 alone is framed with a flickering line,
- select A1:B1, paste : it works,
- undo last step, paste special (formulae only) : it fails (A1:B1 is split ; "new" isn't pasted anywhere due to the "formulae only")

Comment 10 pierre-yves samyn 2014-06-21 15:47:45 UTC
Hi

(In reply to comment #8)
I also reproduce with these steps:

1. File> New> Spreadsheet
2. Merge A1 and B1, fill it with "old",
3. Merge A2 and B2, fill it with "new",
4. Select A2:B2, copy
5. Select A1:B1, paste special Text only

Expected result :
A1:B1 still merged, content: "new"

Actual result:
A1:B1 unmerged, content: "new" in A1, B1 empty

Workaround: paste special Text + Format

I set status to New
