Description OTgzMDY2OTEK 2016-02-18 09:29:56 UTC
Cut/paste of a part of a range with formulas depending on each other will not move the cell references correctly.

Example:

1. Enter 1 in A1 and =A1+1 in A2.
2. Copy A2 into cells A3:A6.
3. Cut the range A4:A6 and paste it into B4.

The result in B4:B6 will be 4, 1, 1 instead of the expected 4, 5, 6. The formulas in B5 and B6 refers to A4 and A5 instead of B4 and B5.

If you had cut and paste the entire range (A1:A6) the result would have been correct. There is minor bug when undoing the paste. Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in cells A2:A6. When you press a second time on undo number one will appear in A1.

Cutting and pasting works correctly if the formulas had been written horizontally e.g. on the first row instead of vertically in column A.

Which version are you using? Which operating system?
Did this work in an older version?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.

I get the same behaviour on both computers running Windows 10 and Linux (Fedora).

The version of LibreOffice on Windows was either 4.4.x or 4.5.x, when I discovered the problem for the first time. It was then updated to 5.0.x, but it didn't solve the issue.

On Linux I have got the same behaviour with LibreOffice 4.3.2 and 5.0.5.2.

I can not confirm that this would have worked correctly on an older version, but I have neither noticed the problem earlier.

Reproduced.

In 3.5, the behavior works like you expect.

        fdo#75386: Totally fix reference update during range move.
    
        It was just not working at all due to multiple reasons.  The
        reference update needed to be reworked for formula groups such that
        the token array is adjusted only for the top cell but all formula cells
        still needed to be processed afterwards.  The bound check also needed
        to be done against the old range prior to the move, not the new range
        after the move.
    
        During undo, the paint had to be deferred until after the two calls to
        DoUndo() else the formula cells would get re-calculated before the
        values were placed back to their old positions, causing them to mis-
        calculate wrong values.
