Description Andreas J. Guelzow 2010-04-19 00:04:23 UTC 
new gnumeric
A1: '-
A2: =if(A1>0,1,0)

search/replace dialog
type - into search field
okay

the - disappears as expected from A1
A2 still shows 1

recalculate

A2 still shows 1

when you save and reopen the file, A2 correctly shows 0.

This has nothing to do with search and replace.

A1 contains an empty string after s-a-r.
We save it right
The editline is wrong.  I believe it should have an '
It loads as an empty value.  That's wrong.
Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2010-04-21 15:53:57 UTC 
Quoting fixed.
Comment 3 Morten Welinder 2010-04-21 16:03:18 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.

This must have been wrong forever, at least in the sax loader.
