There is a difference between A:A and A$1:A$1048576 in Excel and
Gnumeric: When you delete rows, A:A remains A:A whereas A$1:A$1048576
shrinks. Any reference to the last cell A$1048576 moves up but any A:A
reference remains the same regardless how many and how often you delete
cells. In the age of spreadsheet databases this may be a problem when
you count on this behaviour.
