Re: [libreoffice-users] Formulas in Calc not showing results

OK, having now rebooted, LO seems to be displaying the results of the 
formulas again.  That's a relief, and no doubt it's the reboot that 
solved the issue.  Wish I understood why such things happen, but in any 
case, thanks for pushing me in that direction.

As for:
> Also with Mac i think  updates and even installing stuff seldom demands a reboot?
Correct.  In some cases with OS updates, reboot is required, but not 
usually.  Mac may also have a way to re-open all the last work after a 
shutdown, but I haven't looked into it yet (Safari browser does this, so 
maybe Apple thought about it for the entire OS).  I do hope to look into 
Linux and the like one day...

Cheers,
Carl
