Even if there were, it should be presented as a warning (like that little triangle Excel occasionally puts on the top-right of a cell), not an error hiding the value; but that checking would cost CPU time. If your number varies by 0.1, under default settings, it's said it does not converge. If your rescale things so that it varies by 0.0001, it is literally "convergent". "Furtiveness" would be a better term for this. For those things, I called the "convergence" check uneducated. Even if the formula is judged to give nonconvergent results (and the results get censored), the underlying iteration is never paused. Later I may paste all this into a new bug report if you need. While I surely wanted to scorn the anti-feature thoroughly, I apologize some of the anger spilled to the originators of the distracted artifact. (I didn't even mention about trying to use iteration with strings.)</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
