Thanks for the clarification. My humble opinion is:

1. Pasting a formula and have it display the wrong result does not make any
sense. There is no point in having this as a default behaviour.

2. The result of pasting a formula must not depend on how many cells you copy.
Either you never recalculate, or you always recalculate. Anything else is
confusing at best and makes the spreadsheet inconsistent at worst.

3. As an end user, I prefer consistent behaviour to blog entries that explain
inconsistent behaviour.

4. The bug (or misfeature) is not related to file loading whatsoever. Before
reporting the bug, I checked if there is any option that might affect cell
recalculation after copy/paste. I did not find anything appropriate. A setting
labelled "Recalculation on file load" must not affect the behaviour of pasting
cells.

just my 2cc
Markus
