             Bug #: 46338
           Summary: Substitution of missing references with "#REF!" makes
                    correcting formulas impossible
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.5.0 Release
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: Spreadsheet
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: daniel.mania at umb.no


When a reference to a non-existing sheet is being entered into a formula or when a sheet is renamed/deleted, LibreOffice substitutes the reference that pointed
to that sheet with text "#REF!". This makes correcting formulas difficult or even impossible since the old value is lost.

How to reproduce the bug:
Create a new spreadsheet and enter "=SheetX.A1" into any cell. Calc will change the formula to "=#REF!.A1" immediately!

Calc should display "#REF!" in the cell but the content of the cell should be untouched. Highlighting the reference that causes the error would be a helpful
feature.
