--- Comment #4 from [email protected] --- Sorry, I apparently didn't get an email telling me there was a question. I am using Linux. At the time that I found the bug, I was running Mint Petra; however, having no use for a Linux that cannot but upgraded to a new distribution, I switched to Xubuntu. I think the problem occurred in the last LTS version of LO Calc before Version 4.4.2.2. Unfortunately, during the first few hours of trying LO Calc, I discovered (MOD() and DATE()) bugs that result in random incorrect answers caused by improper handling of significant digits. When I reported them, I was informed that these functions require the user to make sure the input to the functions are of a specific format, and that they are therefore not bugs. This means that I must read about the limitations of every function use and keep notes I can refer to every time I want to use a function. Since computers are supposed to work for users, and not users for computers, this is unacceptable. In addition, in certain professions, random incorrect answers are worse than crashes or not having the functions at all, because lives or property could be lost. For this reason, I see no reason to bother with LibreOffice Calc for serious work. Excel doesn't have these problems. Too bad everyone working on Linux wants to have their own version instead of making one version that works correctly. You might as well close this bug and wait for someone who is forced to use LibreOffice Calc to find it. I cannot afford to spend time helping programmers fix something that I can't use. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
