** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: openoffice.org
  
- In Calc in OpenOffice on Hardy, I have a problem when editing cells with
- formulae like this:
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
+ Release:	11.10
+ 
+ 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc
+ libreoffice-calc:
+   Installed: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1
+   Candidate: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1
+   Version table:
+  *** 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 0
+         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main i386 Packages
+         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
+      1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0
+         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages
+ 
+ 3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Calc is in a blank document
+ if one places in D7:
  
  =IF(D13=0;1;EXP(-delta^D13))
  
- When I press 'F2' to see the color-coded form of this formula (with
- cells color-coded to indicate where different values are coming from),
- the first 'D13' in this formula comes up blue and the second 'D13' comes
- up red, even though they are the same cell. Then, the actual cell D13 is
- color-coded red as well, so there is no indication about what/where the
- blue cell should be.
+ only the first D13 left to right is highlighted, while the second D13 is
+ either the same color or not highlighted at all as in Excel screenshot
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/262511/+attachment/2608715/+files
+ /excel-screenshot.png .
  
- This is clearly a simple implementation error where repeated cell
- references are not checked for.
+ 4) What happens instead is the first D13 is blue while the second is red
+ as shown in the screenshot
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/262511/+attachment/2570972/+files/highlighting.png
+ .
