I've installed 4.1.4 on the new computer and it works. Any idea why this would occur? Makes no sense that an immediately newer version would be so fundamentally corrupted.
The main reason is that the Calc spreadsheet had a major code rewrite which enabled several enhancements including GPU calculations (when activated and when the GPU is compatible) LibreOffice 4.2.0.4 (notice the zero after 4.2) is the first release in a new branch (the 4.2 branch). For Windows users usually a 4.2 version is always better than a 4.1... However LibreOffice is a multi-platform software and since most developers are on Linux it follows a Linux logic (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan). Therefore an x.x.0 release (and in fact any release before x.x.4) is considered potentially buggy and not ready for production. Therefore even if LO 4.2 is announced everywhere on the LO site, in fact it is not recommended for general use or in other words "is targeted for early adopters and private power users" (as stated in the not so evident Release Notes page http://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes/) Bottomline: stick with the trusted 4.1 branch (4.1.5 should be out within the next days) or keep 4.2 if you can live with the bugs (and report them at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice ) so that they are eventually fixed. Hope this helps... -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Corrupted-Calc-Display-of-Excel-File-tp4096338p4096361.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscribe@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
