Autoinput in LibreOffice 7.2 Calc

[chimak111]

I downloaded LibreOffice 7.2 using the AppImage option (https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/).


While it's definitely snappier than my regular 7.0.6.2 version, I'm facing an issue in 7.2 with autoinput in Calc (Tools > Autoinput).

In version 7.0.6.2, autoinput works anywhere in the column and doesn't require the column's cells to be contiguously filled.

However, in version 7.2.0.4, I can view the autoinput options only for contiguous cells or in cells immediately above or below the contiguous cells.

As a crude workaround, I fill empty cells with a space.

EDIT: It's a feature, not a bug: Bug 142214 - Improve Calc's auto-complete feature

1. Calc auto-complete should offer suggestions only from the block of nonempty cells above/below the current cell; ie. imagine you have "Hello" in A1. When the user is in A2, they should be getting suggestions when they start typing an "H"; but when the user is in in A4, A5 or A1000, there should be no suggestions at all.

If your need is important is it time to roll back to the previous appimage?

My previous version is from this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+...ibreoffice-7-0. I still have it installed.

The nice thing is that the AppImage uses a separate profile and so having more than one version is (mostly) not a problem.

EDIT: they also have AppImage versions that will use your existing profile. So there's a choice.

They've rolled back the feature and the patch will be available in version 7.2.1 (and, before that, in daily builds): https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/...?id=142214#c30
