Another issue has raised its ugly head, which is
when opening old spreadsheets some users are
finding cells which used to contain formulas are
now replaced with "=" formulas, that is to say,
the contents of the fomula are missing except for
the first character.

In particular, with two separate individuals, it was
the formulas that had been copied down previously
but for which data was not yet available, that had
displayed as "#!DIV/0" or similar, were the ones
affected. The ones that calculated to numeric values
were not affected.

This is a lot more replicable than the panel issue I
reported. This would seem to imply that we wouldnt
be the first to be seeing this issue, but my google-fu
does not seem to be up to searching for formulas losing
the part after the "=" in LibreOffice 4.1- can someone
point me to a bug report or a FAQ?
