calc (5.2.7-1) undo redo problems

Hi,

I need help to submit a bug report.

In Version 5.2.7 I can reproduce an unhandled exception (program crash) by a undo and redo after having moved rows

In Version 5.2.6-2 doing this does not crash, but having moved rows and eddited cells, undo redo undo redo commands leads to changes in wrong rows (corrupting data).

(I am using debian jessie and stretch)

Any developer who can hold my hand in order to give all info for a quialified bug report (in order to have it reproduceable on the devoloper site)?

Thanks

The bugzilla is interested in your version number, operating system and a step by step guide to the problem. It would be worth noting whether this bug occurs on existing documents or can you reproduce the problem on a new document. If it is an existing document can you upload the doc to the bugzilla?

Feel free to post details on how you created the problem and you should get some feedback here.

Cheers

Hi :slight_smile:
You don't have to get ALL the information together before posting the
bug-report. Bugzilla, the place where your report ends up, is much like a
normal email = you can add more comments (like replies) to it later either
to add greater detail, or attach reports or screen-shots or whatever or to
correct any mistakes or clarify ambiguities or whatever.

The most important thing is the "subject line". Keep it succinct. Like a
bullet-point of what the problem is.

DON'T mention that it's "a problem", nor that you "want help", nor that
it's to do with "libreoffice". ALL the problems on the libreoffice
bugzilla site are problems with libreoffice that people need help with. So
repeating that in the subject-line is extraneous "noise" which the devs
find painful. :wink: Avoid that and you are a step ahead of sooo many
bug-reports that a dev might enjoy your report.

Before filling a bug report, you should check if the bug is not already reported. There is lot of bug reports with the word "undo" in its summary:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?component=Calc&list_id=702195&product=LibreOffice&query_format=advanced&short_desc=undo&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr

For example, this one:

Doing a few undo-redo cycle of deletion of a row with comment crashes Calc
