Priority: medium
Bug ID: 70886
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: UI: [UI] [EDITING] [VIEWING] [CALC] Detective Trace
inadequate display
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA PossibleRegression
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.6.2 rc
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
Detective Trace arrows displayed in inadequate position, cause more confusion.
Steps to reproduce:
1_ Start a new spreadsheet with 2 sheets, with the zoom at %100.
2_ On "Sheet2.E20" insert the following formula: "=Sheet1.E20" (without
quotation marks).
3_ Select "Sheet2.E20".
4_ Press "Shift+F7", (Trace Precedents). Note the position of the trace arrow.
5_ Change the zoom, from %100 to either %90 or to %110. Note the (new?)
position of the trace arrow.
6_ Change the zoom back to %100. Note the (new?) position of the trace arrow.
7_ Go to Tools -> Detective -> Refresh Traces. Note the (new?) position of the
trace arrow.
If the test cell is "A1" instead of "E20", the trace arrow might disappear from
the screen when changing the zoom, until the next "Refresh Traces".
Current behavior:
In my system, step 5 incorrectly changes the displayed position of the trace
arrow, step 6 maintains the inadequate position, and step 7 "corrects" it.
Additionally, performing some other tasks (e.g. copy+paste) might refresh the
trace arrows too (but I'm not sure whether *any* task will).
In fact, the initial and/or ending zoom(s) can be any other than %100 too, as
*any* zoom change generates this issue.
In the above steps I used "Trace Precedents". I see the same effect when
selecting "Sheet1.E20" and using "Trace Dependents" instead.
Expected behavior:
This displacement should not happen, specially with "AutoRefresh" (traces) set
on.
The “Detective” feature in LibreOffice is already very limited; it should at
least work as expected and not make it harder for the user.
Additional info:
I originally posted a question to confirm whether this was happening to other
users too (it does). The original email thread can be accessed through one of
