Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part, I did not realize you were on -- kubuntu.

The primary developers for Calc have been on top of issues with the major code refactoring done for 
the 4.2.0 release. 
So, if you can attach your problem spreadsheet to a FDO hosted Bugzilla report with precise Steps 
to Reproduce the issue that is the best way to assure that the issue gets attention.

In truth filing is pretty straight forward, but you'll need to register an account to submit. Two 
choices: one guided with the Bug Submission Assistant (BSA) -> 
https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/  or  directly into the Bugzilla interface at 
http://bugs.libreoffice.org/  (currently a link to bugs.freedesktop.org hosted BZ).  For either 
case, give it a descriptive title and you'd report against:

Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.2.1.1 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Platform: x86(IA32), Linux  -- once we get a look at your attached spreadsheet we'd confirm and 
expand the platform against other platforms.

And If you file, and please do so we can confirm and get this attended to, post back with the BZ 
number.

Devs sort of expect folks on Linux to roll their own, but as you found there is  the nightly 
TinderBox-45 rolling 32-bit RPM and DEBs of master:   
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Linux-rpm_deb-x86@45-TDF/current/ 

If you can get the kunbutu install done from the DEB, should help identify if the revised code in 
master has addressed your issues. 

Also, there are PPA packaged builds for the Unbutu folks as well, I just checked and a 4.2.2.0 not 
yet posted. But you could keep an eye on it:

https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa 
and
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-prereleases for earlier review.
