Description Andreas J. Guelzow 2006-06-25 19:12:48 UTC 
new gnumeric 
insert->define names
add a name "test-a1" with scope Sheet1
the list now shows "Sheet1!test-a1"
now type "test-a1" into the name box but leave the scope as workbook.
The add button is disabled and the update button enabled.
Clicking 'update' _adds_ a new name.

I assume that we want to be able to add workbook scope names that are hidden by sheet scope names, so the problem is that the wrong button is enabled.
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2006-06-26 23:04:55 UTC 
There is more strange behaviour:

the scope buttons are used sometimes just to set-up the definition for adding,
but if a name is selected than they function to change the scope (and leave the dialog in an inconsistent state)
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2006-06-26 23:10:12 UTC 
and the okay button functions as an "add" or "update" button (combined with "close") ??
Comment 3 Andreas J. Guelzow 2006-06-27 00:07:51 UTC 
fixed in cvs head, but we probably should now add an easy way to switch scopes on variables since the previously available way is disabled.

So I am not closing this bug but change the title.
Comment 4 Andreas J. Guelzow 2006-06-30 23:24:54 UTC 
I have added a switch scope button to the dialog.
