OK, having now rebooted, LO seems to be displaying the results of the
formulas again. That's a relief, and no doubt it's the reboot that
solved the issue. Wish I understood why such things happen, but in any
case, thanks for pushing me in that direction.
As for:
Also with Mac i think updates and even installing stuff seldom demands a
reboot?
Correct. In some cases with OS updates, reboot is required, but not
usually. Mac may also have a way to re-open all the last work after a
shutdown, but I haven't looked into it yet (Safari browser does this, so
maybe Apple thought about it for the entire OS). I do hope to look into
Linux and the like one day...
Cheers,
Carl
With Ubuntu there is some setting that allows you to make the start-up
procedure open up everything that you had open when you shut-down. There might
be something similar on Mac but i don't know of good places to find out. There
must be forums or soemthing worth asking.
Apols and regards from
Tom :)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Formulas in Calc not showing results
It's not the downtime but rather all the work that's open that I have to
keep track of, decide how to save and then close. It's hard to explain
but given I work 3-4 different jobs at once and am working on new tools
that I don't know very well yet, I'm always reluctant to reboot.
Obviously I'll have to change that.
And I too can shut down processes individually on my Mac, but I don't
always know what ones apply to what programs. Sounds easier than it is...
I'm still wondering why it's happening, and why LO is now opening the
CSV files (no re-start or re-boot yet). In the latter case, obviously
re-starting or re-booting didn't matter. This is all a lot more
complicated that just re-booting.
Cheers,
Carl

Hi :)
Lol, +1
Even on Gnu&Linux distros (mainly Ubuntu ime tbh) it's a good plan to do a reboot
to ensure that services that are normally on haven't been stopped temporarily without
you really being aware of it. Of course in Gnu&Linux you could restart individual
processes in order to avoid any down-time at all but on a desktop or mobile machine a
couple of minutes of downtime is unlikely to matter much.

Tom :)

Restart the software or reboot the computer sometimes helps these odd glitches.
You mean that you didn't try this before asking your question?!
