--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
IMO, this is not a bug.
Calc has no idea how the underlying algorithm changes. Its engine does not care
about sudden change of an algorithm, and it's /this sudden change/ that you did
that made your results unreliable.

If Calc was to assume that at any minute, a formula could change its meaning,
it would have to re-calculate the whole sheet at every user action. In reality,
for most formulas, Calc only cares about the *links* (references) that a cell
has, and it only recalculates any cell when *its* formula changed, *or* its
dependencies (direct or indirect) have changed. (There are so-called *volatile*
functions, that recalculate at every change in the document, but making all
user functions volatile would make most of sheets making heavy use of such
functions slow.)

And there is Data->Calculate->Recalculate Hard for unusual cases like yours,
when one needs everything recalculated. It has a shortcut, too: Ctrl+Shift+F9.
