Description Winfried Donkers 2015-02-17 10:46:48 UTC
Created attachment 113446 [details]
document with cells referenced to

When a cell with a relative or absolute reference to another cell in the same worksheet is moved (cut & paste), the reference stays the same.

When a cell with a relative or absolute reference to a cell in another document is moved (cut & paste), the reference stays the same with absolute reference, but changes with the relative reference.

This is inconsistent.

Created attachment 113447 [details]
document with references

(Document expects attachment 113446 [details] to be in C:\Temp\)
Steps to reproduce:
-open document with references (ref2.ods)
-select range A20:A23 (A20 and A23 contain a reference to A16 resp. A15)
-cut (Ctrl-X)
-select cell C20
-paste (Ctrl-V)
-the pasted cells C20 and C23 still contain a reference to A16 resp. A15

-select range A6:A9 (A6 and A9 contain a refernce to ref1.ods, sheet1, cell A3 resp. A1)
-cut (Ctrl-X)
-select cell C6
-paste (Ctrl-V)
-the pasted cell C9 still contains a reference to ref1.ods, sheet1, cell A1
 but the pasted cell C6 contains a reference to ref1.ods, sheet1, cell C3 !

IMHO this is not correct and certainly not consistent with internal references.

Confirmed, reference should be kept in cut&paste.

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice 
   (5.0.5 or 5.1.0)  https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and 
   your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
   If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave 
   a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

   Update the version field
   Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
   Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
   appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa

Reproducible in version 5.0.4 (Windows 7), but no longer in 5.2 (master, openSUSE13.1).

Setting bug report as resolved.
