Please try the following test, to be sure that the main functionality works. [...begin of original scenario...] Change a cell in LinkSource -> bug : change not reflected in DDE-Test Store LinkSource Go to Edit/Links menu entry and update the link explicitly -> mav : testing your suggestion. ... Change a cell in LinkSource -> bug : change not reflected in DDE-Test Store LinkSource Go to Edit/Links menu entry and update the link explicitly Result : the explicit update of the link works, but only on that link. If you have another link to the same spreasheet, it is not updated. Variant : Open LinkSource -> bug Issue 100085 : it appears as read-only Close LinkSource, leaving DDE_Test open. Re-open LinkSource : now it is writeable! Change a cell in LinkSource -> bug : change not reflected in DDE-Test Leave LinkSource open. Go to Edit/Links in DDE_Test and update the link explicitly Result : the explicit update of the link works, but only on that link. Now the link is updated when a change is made to LinkSource cells. So if you have several ranges linked to LinkSource.ods cell ranges, you would have to Edit > Links > Update for each of these links. mav->bmarcelly: To get the update automatically the links could be changed to update using a timer as a workaround. Anyway it is a bug and has to be fixed. If I remember the implementation correctly the bug should be an old one. Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org". |
