lost calc feature in LO

Fri Dec 4 05:59:39 PST 2015

Hello Eike,

I'll do so. The only reason was, that I just "answered", following a 
suggestion ... .
I'm now on my way to Gerrit with a small detour updating from branch-5-0 
-> master (some months old + git pull), new environment using GCC 4.6 -> 
GCC 4.7 and new tests.
Sorry, next week on workshop, but afterwards hopefully with success.

Best regards,
Andreas
