Description Simon Kelly 2010-09-28 11:43:01 UTC
Add a cell drop-down (using a formula list constraint) in a worksheet where there is already a macro attached.

Expected result:
The chosen cell has a validation list applied to it.

Actual result:
IllegalStateException occurs.

Stack trace:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unexpected (org.apache.poi.hssf.record.UnknownRecord) while looking for DV Table insert pos

Comment 1 Simon Kelly 2010-09-28 12:35:34 UTC
This bug occurs with the simplest of macros. Here is the VB Macro I used to reproduce this (added in first sheet but infact can be on any sheet or in separate 'module'):

Sub AnyOldMacro()
    MsgBox "Oh Hi!"
End Sub

Fixed in r1004143, junit added
