Bug#419415: oo-calc: inconsistent behaviour when defining a new name from another
Package: openoffice.org-calc
Version: 2.2.0-3
Severity: normal
The initial goal was renaming a couple of cell names, after copying
sheets from another ods file.
For this, I went to the "Names" dialog via Ctrl-F3, selected the 1st
name to change, and, lacking a "rename" button, just typed the new
name and hit "New". Since typing in the new name (say, New01) did not
change the range in the text field, it did what I expected, and I
could just remove the old name.
Now I started to do the same with the second name. But the new name
(say, New02) was very similar to the name I just created, and OOo
decided to propose an autocompletion using New01 (obviously not what I
wanted), and when I finished typing the new name, the old value I
wanted to use was gone.
Now one can argue about several issues:
- I can just cut'n'paste the range
- I can use the "Names" toolbar item to jump to old and define new names
But I think it would be much more useful to:
- have consistent behaviour, whether we did not accept a completion,
or were not offered one
- have builtin support for changing a name's name in addition to
changing what it points to.
