Description Óvári 2015-07-15 09:47:32 UTC 
Version: 5.0.0.3 (x64)
Build ID: f79b5ba13f5e6cbad23f8038060e556217e66632

1. Open LibreOffice Calc
2. In cell A2 enter: =SUM($B2:B1048573)
3. Select rows 4 to 14
4. Right click on any row heading from 4 to 14
5. Insert Rows Above
6. Formula in cell A2 shows: =SUM($B2:B#REF!)
   Expected formula in cell A2: =SUM($B2:B1048576)

Unfortunately, bug also occurs when entering columns which exceed column limit.

May relate to bug 92751

Thank you

Thank you Eike for your comment.

Perhaps LibreOffice (LO) documentation user documentation could state that:
1. LO Calc operates differently to MS Excel as it does not check to ensure that the upper bound of a range is at most the maximum row/column of a spreadsheet and if the value exceeds the maximum bound automatic convert the upper range to the maximum row/column value; and
2. LO Calc produces an #REF! error, while MS Excel automatically ensures the upper bound of a range never exceeds the maximum row/column.
