I must be the average user you mention, because I'm afraid that the current behaviour definitely appears to be buggy to me. To me, cell references used within conditional formatting should mimic the behaviour of cell references used in cell formulas. That is, if a formula (or conditional formatting) refers to another cell and that other cell is moved then the formula (or conditional formatting) should be updated to reflect that. As far as I know cell formulas *always* behave this way. Also, just so not to confuse a separate issue, the use of A1 vs. $A$1 vs. $Sheet1.$A$1 should make no difference to what I said above. So I don't really understand why when a precedent cell is moved that the address used in a conditional format of the dependent cell is not updated just like it is for cell formulas. The behaviour is also not consistent depending on the addressing mode used. Please try again the original test case ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/235602/+attachment/321005/+files/Conditional%20formatting%20example.ods ) Insert a row above row 11, and you should see cells B12 - E12 (now B13 - E13) retain their green formatting. OK so far. Now starting with the original test case again, make the following modification: In cells B12 to E12, change the conditional formatting to _not_ use sheet names. That is remove the prefix $Tabell1. from the conditional formatting test in each. In fact so it looks just like the format documented in row 8. Insert a row above row 11, and C12 & E12 (now C13 & E13) lose their green formatting. So, the $Tabell1. prefix is critical to the behaviour. I think it should have no impact, just as it would not matter when used in a cell formula. I hope that all makes sense.
