Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 107474
validity range not updated if cell area has been moved
Last modified: 2013-01-29 21:42:35 UTC
I could not put my OOo in English so I try to translate all the functions from dutch as good as I can... when I am making a dropdown menu of several cells (=A2:A8) I went to tools?, validity?, criteria: cellcreteria? and put the aria =A2:A8 in the aria source?. At that moment I get in the cell I had selected an arrow where if i klick on the arrow a dropdown menu appeals with the information in the cells. (let's say C1) problem: if the cell when you move the C1 cell the selected aria changes too: C1 -> D1 =A2:A8 -> =B2:B8 When the table is moved the selected aria in cell C1 does not change. If you make one mistake and you need to add a row the entire workspace does to be manually updated (what is quite anoying;))
Created attachment 66518 [details] the problem in reality: the surounded cells do cary other information
Reproducible with "addo2.ods" (and own documents) and "Ooo 3.1.1 WIN XP DE-multilingual version German UI activated [OOO310m19 (Build 9420)]"! To see the problem more clearly: 1. open "addo2.ods" 2. click 'E5' 3. Type formula "=CONCATENATE(A3;A4)" , <enter> cell contents "ab" should be shown 4. now click 'a3' and select 'A3:A8' with pushed let mouse button 5. release mouse button (selection stays highlighted) 6. click 'A8', drag and drop 'A8' to 'A20' now you have green cells 'A51:A20' expected: formula in 'E5' should be adapted to "=CONCATENATE(A15;A16)", so that cell contents still is "ab" actual: as expected expected: validity criteria range for cell 'C1' should be adapted from "A3:A8" to "A15:A20" actual: criteria range remains without change. That's unexpected and inconsistent.
