Re: [libreoffice-users] Intermittent Calc Issues

Hi :)
Perhaps try renaming your User Profile?  Sudden change in behavior or weird
wonkiness might be down to something going wonky in the User Profile;
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile

Renaming the profile means you can still get back to it if it doesn't fix
things so it's a good way to "get back to factory defaults".
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
