Description Morten Welinder 2012-02-01 15:36:44 UTC 
I just put it back on the menu again after -- at least -- 8 years out in
the cold.  It looks like it needs a bit of life support though.
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2012-02-03 01:52:31 UTC 
It looks to me like somebody was rewriting the  shuffle code and stop midstream:

shuffle_ok_clicked_cb (G_GNUC_UNUSED GtkWidget *button, ShuffleState *state)
{
(...)
	/* This is free'ed by cmd_data_shuffle_finalize. */
	dao = g_new (data_analysis_output_t, 1);

	input = gnm_expr_entry_parse_as_value (
		GNM_EXPR_ENTRY (state->input_entry), state->sheet);

	type = gnm_gui_group_value (state->gui, shuffle_by);

	ds = data_shuffling (WORKBOOK_CONTROL (state->wbcg), dao,
			     state->sheet, input, type);


Note that the dao contains random info when passed to data_shuffling. data_shuffling is then calling 

dao_prepare_output (wbc, dao, _("Shuffled"));

Which of course will yield to interesting results.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
