X-Mailer: bug-buddy 2.2.106 (This bug report was generated by Bug Buddy 2.2.106) FreeBSD 4.8 Gnumeric 1.1.19 compiled from FreeBSD ports gcc-2.95.4 Description of Problem: Saving an imported *.xls, from Office 97, as a *.gnumeric causes formulas to be lost. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Save a *.xls or *.xlt spreadsheet as *.gnumeric spreadsheet 2. Close Gnumeric 3. Now reopen the *.gnumeric spreadsheet Actual Results: The formulas are gone ! This happens in multi tabbed documents. I tested it on two computers. Expected Results: The formulas should not dissappear, when saving as *.gnumeric. How often does this happen? Just about every time I use Gnumeric 1.1.19 Additional Information: This did not happen in Gnumeric 1.0.12 or 1.0.13.
Something sounds very odd. Can you send us a sample file and the precise series of steps you use to cause this. I can not replicate it.
fixed in cvs for DOM and SAX export.
