Description rlk 2014-12-08 20:27:06 UTC
Reference https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-4rl96vSQGGenhwd0wzdFpOMFk/view?usp=sharing

This spreadsheet loads correctly into 4.1.5, 4.1.6, 4.2.7, and 4.3.4.  In 4.4beta (and reported by raal, on 4.5 alpha and 4.3.6) much of the spreadsheet does not load correctly (e. g. look at the T Rank sheet).  Raal reports that it does load correctly on 4.4alpha.

This was determined in conjunction with filing bug 87101 (which is not related).

This spreadsheet is quite complex, using names as unparameterized macros.
Comment 1 raal 2014-12-08 21:11:24 UTC
I can confirm:
with Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: dea4a3b9d7182700abeb4dc756a24a9e8dea8474
I can see data on sheet Trank

No data with Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: b800d0b6ad74ce4a9adb23b865dd174d1eefa47b; bibisectable with 44alpha2only

Dataloss.

On the sheet are data loaded through names, for example =rr_d
Name :  rr_d
Range: IF(B12="";bk;T(OFFSET($'All results'.$E$1;$P12;0))&T(altern))
Comment 2 rlk 2014-12-08 21:15:41 UTC
Yes, that's what I've done for most of the spreadsheet, used names rather than actual formulas in cells.  That greatly reduces the size of the spreadsheet, and also makes it easy (if slow) to change the definition of a column (or other repetitive expression).
Comment 3 Matthew Francis 2014-12-09 03:18:57 UTC

I believe that this is perfectly acceptable as a MAB. Marking appropriately.

    More work on the new OpenCL options
    
    Now the new options show up in the "Detailed Calculation Settings" dialog and
    are saved and restored from the per-user configuration.
    
    The code that manipulates the "Detailed Calculation Settings" dialog is quite
    ugly with all its manual hiding and showing of widgets depending on which
    detail it is that is being edited. This also means that the dialog cannot be
    designed using Glade. But no time now to re-work this.

And indeed when I disable OpenCL the attached spreadsheet works again
(Options - Calc - Formula - Detailed Calculation Settings - Custom - Enable OpenCL for some formula computation: False)

This commit (on master) might fix this problem, but I am not able to test because of some unrelated bug:

commit 6eb155dea00a1e312fdc3339406bf168a93a25e7
Author: Tor Lillqvist <tml@collabora.com>
Date:   Tue Dec 9 12:45:41 2014 +0200

    Don't use of the broken "Software" group interpreter
    
    FormulaGroupInterpreterSoftware is known to be broken, says moggi. We should
    not use it as a fallback to OpenCL.
    
    Not sure whether it makes sense, but let's keep it in the code for now.  Make
    using it conditional on setting the environment variable
    SC_ALLOW_BROKEN_SOFTWARE_INTERPRETER (to any value). Only a developer who
    wants to work on it should set that.
    
    sc::FormulaGroupInterpreter::getStatic() can now return NULL, adapt callers
    accordingly.
    
    This might fix fdo#87119, but I am not able to check, as the document from
    that bug causes an unrelated assertion for me.

How is it supposed to look? Could you attach a screenshot please. I don't have any 4.[123] build handy to compare with.

Expected content of the 'T Rank' sheet

I have one of those from earlier - here you go

If it contains more than nothing at all it's probably working

Broken "T Rank" sheet

(in contrast, this is what it looks like when broken - empty)
Comment 10 How can I remove my account? 2014-12-09 16:01:32 UTC
After taking care of the assertions I was able to verify that indeed the fix helps. Will cherry-pick to libreoffice-4-4.
Comment 11 How can I remove my account? 2014-12-09 16:16:35 UTC
(The unrelated assertion, which prevents loading the test document in an assertions-enabled build, is fixed by the patch at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/13396/ I did not commit that directly, I want some Calc expert to approve it.)
Comment 12 How can I remove my account? 2014-12-09 19:37:08 UTC
The same patch submitted to gerrit for the libreoffice-4-4 branch, too: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/13397/
Comment 13 rlk 2014-12-10 16:47:38 UTC
Note that per Raal's comment in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87101 this shows up in 4.3.6 also.
Comment 14 How can I remove my account? 2014-12-10 17:36:32 UTC
It can't be the same bug in 4.3.6 as the use of OpenCL was not turned on by default in 4.3, and thus there shouldn't be a way to get to the related "Software" Formula Group Interpreter code-path. Unless one turns on OpenCL use intentionally, which I think is not recommended in 4.3.
Comment 15 Commit Notification 2014-12-16 00:02:20 UTC
Tor Lillqvist committed a patch related to this issue.
It has been pushed to "libreoffice-4-4":

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=1c0b8b8f06e1ecf39789f00cff0c6ebc712aa272&h=libreoffice-4-4

fdo#87119: Don't use of the broken "Software" group interpreter

It will be available in 4.4.0.0.beta3.

The patch should be included in the daily builds available at
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More
information about daily builds can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds
Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
Comment 16 Eike Rathke 2014-12-18 13:53:21 UTC
Let's call this fixed now.
Comment 17 rlk 2014-12-19 15:54:45 UTC
The current nightly (12/19 linux x86_64) fails to start, so I can't test it.
Comment 18 rlk 2014-12-20 19:14:18 UTC
It works.  The failure to start problem appears to have been due to my .config/libreofficedev directory.  Removing it and allowing libreoffice to recreated it fixed that problem.
