When I copy a cell from one row to another one, the formula placed in the 
adjacent cell is corrupted.

For instance, with the given sample file, there are two columns of numbers (A 
and B), and the sum by row in the third column (A+B). So the cells in the 
column C contains the following formulas: "=A2+B2", "=A3+B3", etc.

When i select a cell in the B column (for instance the cell B3), cut it and 
paste it in another B cell (for instance B5), the formula adjacent to the cut 
cell (so C3, "=A3+B3") is modified and becomes "=A3+B5". This is wrong, I 
didn't modified the cell, and even if it was the case, it should still sum 
numbers in the same row!

This is a big problem because when the user copy/paste a cell, she is looking 
at the destination, and doesn't think to check the formula of the source row. 
So the sum are wrong, and if there is a total at the bottom of the C column, 
the result is wrong (by the amount of "-B3 + B5").

Once you got the problem, you can check all formulas after copy/paste 
operation, but this is tiring and the software is simply not reliable.

Btw, I think that protecting the cell would be inefficient, since the 
modification is totally unexpected and may even bypass access control check. I 
didn't try this test, but I also reported a bug with cell protection bypassed 
with cut/past on multi cell, so I'm quite sure this part of code is a mess.

Thanks a lot,
CC
