--- Comment #5 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
I'm sorry to say this, but this issue is INVALID.
1. It contains three different problems in one. Each one should have its own
dedicated report.
2. The first problem is not a bug. The Sum operation (as it is implemented in
LO now) works horizontally, i.e. it automatically fills the arguments for "sum"
with cells to the left of current cell. If there are no cells to the left, the
arguments stay empty. But, as it is pointed out in bug 61228, the sum is the
default function in LO formula, so you may even omit the function name and
simply write "=<A1:B2>", and it will give you correct answer.

If you enter a formula that contain of consecutive values (like in
"=sum(<A3>)<A1:B2>", that expand into "=sum(A3) sum(<A1:B2>)", and then to two
values "10 10"), the result is the last value, i.e. the last "10".

Actually, when you use the "Sum" (Sigma) button, you are not expected to fill
the argument list manually (or, if you need so, you should _modify_ the
automatically filled argument list). Thus, your actions in your cells B3 and C3
are incorrect (you needed to replace rather than add).

Closing this as INVALID. But I filed two follow-up bugs (concerning deletion of
formula resulting in 0 -> Bug 72100, and incomplete undo -> Bug 72101) myself,
because I suffer from these myself.

If you think that the first issue is not resolved, please file another report
for it, maybe an enhancement request. I believe tracking it here would be
difficult for a developer (taking into account the considerations above).

Thank you for reporting!
