Some may arrive here and be confused about that to do, given comments #22 and #25. How do I end any possibility of corrupting my spreadsheet with LibreOffice? This is how I ended the on-going damage to a years-old spreadsheets. I opened a terminal and pasted this:
sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice* libexttextcat-data* && sudo apt-get autoremove I got that from a A00 page describing how to remove LibreOffice and install AOO. I was sorely tempted to just keep following their instructions. But I decided that an old version of LibreOffice untouched by this enhancement stupidity would be adequate. I found a link to LibreOffice 4.1.6.2 navigated to x86-64 as my desired version and downloaded it with firefox, landing in my Downloads directory: http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/4.1.6.2/deb/ I then went to my Downloads directory: cd ~/Downloads tar -zxf LibreOffice_4.1.6.2_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz cd LibreOffice_4.1.6.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS sudo dpkg -i *.deb I left that in my downloads directory in case anyone can give me a compelling case to try another version and risk years of work on it. If it does not work, I can repeat: sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice* libexttextcat-data* && sudo apt-get autoremove cd ~/Downloads/LibreOffice_4.1.6.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS sudo dpkg -i *.deb And get back to something I am sure works for me. 4.1.6.2 behaves in a way consistent with other spreadsheet programs. Other versions might work for you. I have appreciated that a Google search has solved all my Ubuntu problems in the past when I discover recipe pages with copy and paste command lines. I hope mine work for you. My version immediately asks me if I want to upgrade NO THANKYOU When no one has reported a mangled spreadsheet for months, then I will consider it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1389858 Title: Libreoffice calc 4.2.7-0ubuntu1 not updating references after sort To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1389858/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
