Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc: Has anyone tested the backward-compatibility of LibreOffice 3.4?

Hi :)
I remember this happened in Excell at one point too.  I vaguely remember there 
was some obscure setting that had suddenly been changed from previous 
updates/versions.  I would post a bug-report and then start searching for it as 
it's not ideal default behaviour!
Regards from
Tom :)
