--- Comment #13 from [email protected] ---
I don't know how the "Err:520" in the Function Wizard can NOT be a bug of some
kind when it appears in a fresh start of LibreOffice Calc, and then disappears
when something is really wrong like using a reserved variable name "pi" in
LibreOffice BASIC.  Besides that, there must be some bug in the exception
handling code if Calc is crashing so easily and frequently that a variable name
in a function can't be changed, and the error reporting is not indicating BASIC
problems properly.  

I can understand that immature code may exist in open source software, but to
say false reporting of "Err:520" with all sorts of confusing operational
consequences is "Not a bug", and then dismiss it, is like throwing the baby out
with the bath water.  I have written a lot of macros using Excel for very
sophisticated scientific and engineering spreadsheets programs and encountered
a lot of bugs, but nothing like this.  For the sake of improving LibreOffice, I
hope you will reconsider what is called a bug to dismiss significant problems
that affect compatibility with Windows spreadsheets and documents.   

Incidentally, is there an way to call the pi() function for use in User Defined
functions?

Thank you for your time and efforts, Dick
