Created attachment 56560 [details] spreadsheet with two sheets demonstrating the bug Problem description: a) If a single cell is selected with the mouse and then drag-copied one or more cells to the *left* or *up* the original cell contents are moved one cell to the right or down respectively. b) Any reference in the new copy points to the wrong cell, one cell to the left of the correct reference. c) After the operation the cell which is selected is the cell to the left of the new copy instead of the copy itself. The same problem occurs for Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new spreadsheet. 2. Click on a cell somewhere one or more cells away from the left-most column and top row and enter some content, e.g. a formula, text or a number. 3. Select the above cell and drag it while holding down the option key (Mac) to create a copy in a new location to the left (or above) the original location. Current behavior: a) The original cell contents are moved one cell to the right (or down) respectively. b) Any reference in the new copy points to the wrong cell, one cell to the left of the correct reference. c) After the operation the cell which is selected is the cell to the left (or above) of the new copy instead of the copy itself. Expected behavior: a) The original cell shall remain unchanged. b) Any reference in the new copy shall point shall retain the same relative offset from the copy. c) After the operation the cell remains selected shall be the cell the new copy itself.

Verify in 3.4.5 and 3.5. I have suffered this, a coupled of times. Difficult to see the problem, and even more difficult to repair if there are many cells involved. Change references without notice, it is very dangerous in a spreadsheet.

Please read this message in its entirety before responding. Your bug was confirmed at least 1 year ago and has not had any activity on it for over a year. Your bug is still set to NEW which means that it is open and confirmed. It would be nice to have the bug confirmed on a newer version than the version reported in the original report to know that the bug is still present -- sometimes a bug is inadvertently fixed over time and just never closed. If you have time please do the following: 1) Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (preferably 4.2 or newer). 2) If it is present please leave a comment telling us what version of LibreOffice and your operating system. 3) If it is NOT present please set the bug to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment telling us your version and Operating System Please DO NOT 1) Update the version field 2) Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) 3) Set the bug to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + LibreOffice is powered by a team of volunteers, every bug is confirmed (triaged) by human beings who mostly give their time for free.

Lastly, good bug reports help tremendously in making the process go smoother, please always provide reproducible steps (even if it seems easy) and attach any and all relevant material
I confirm this bug is still present in LibreOffice 3.4.5 on Mac OS X 10.9.5.
I confirm this bug is still present in LibreOffice 4.3.2.2 on Mac OS X 10.9.5.
Can anyone reproduce this on any other platform than MacOSX? I can't.
** Please read this message in its entirety before responding ** To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

Given that this apparently happened only on MacOSX 10 with LibreOffice versions up to 4.3 (at least I never heard of any other reports regarding this behavior) and no one found the actual cause, I'm closing this. If it still happens with releases >= 5.1 feel free to reopen.
