--- Comment #13 from b. <newbie...@gmx.de> ---
@Mike Kaganski,
let's say there are two options,
A - immediate reaction on cell format change, with a chance for the user to see
that his changes have been 'accepted', 'worked', and in case of an error to see
it immediately (not sure, but have a chance) and to assign it correctly to the
cause, and to remove it with a simple ctrl-z and to continue working with
undamaged data,
and B: where the user's changes are not processed at first, so he thinks 'it
didn't work' and 'blindly' throws other changes behind that make everything
worse, only to be surprised months or years later by changes or unwanted
consequences of changes he can't assign, maybe didn't even make himself, and
can only correct with tedious debugging, with a good chance of stepping on
other landmines he or other people have installed before or in between?
i know that you think the second way is better, IMHO it's stupid and i regret
that both the work in the sheet and the code of calc are developing more and
more in this direction.
i see one argument for option B: excel doe's it that way. but as already
mentioned more than once, even if you follow an elephant, you don't have to go
along with all the nonsense it spouts. To keep compatibility: two options,
'reasonable calculations' and 'Excel compatibility mode'.
i suggest to let the users vote how hey would like to have it instead of
'experts' making stubborn decisions and forcing them on the users.
