Created attachment 70748 [details] Original conditional formatting range I selected cells A4:I10000 and added conditional formatting as follows: Condition 1: Formula is ISEVEN(ROW()), background yellow Condition 2: Formula is ISODD(ROW()), background white Everything looks fine. I enter numbers in the cells and all still looks fine. Now I delete the contents of cells that contain references like =IF(ISBLANK(B96);"";$O$6) or calculations like =IF(ISBLANK(B96);"";(B96-E96)*$K$6). The contents of the cells is deleted and everything still looks fine, When I save the file and reopen it, the conditional formatting for the deleted cells is lost and the conditional formatting looks funny. Please see the attached files.

Created attachment 74418 [details] spreadsheet used to show the issue Hi, I reproduce. Use the attached file and follow the instructions in the sheet and repeated below: 1/ initial state: CF in cells A3:C7 condition : if $A$1 = 1, then background → red 2) initial checks : 1 is in A1 : A3:C7 - > background red ok enter 0 in cell A1 A3:C7 - > background yellow ok 3/ to reproduce the bug: select A3:C7 delete (Del key on the keyboard) unexpected result : CF is no longer applied in cells A3:C7 It is not necessary to save the file, the loss is immediate. Note that according to the document used, it is not always necessary to clear the whole area, sometimes a few cells are enough. Observed on: Version 3.6.5.2 (Build ID: 5b93205) - Vista Version 4.0.0.3 (Build ID: 7545bee9c2a0782548772a21bc84a9dcc583b89) - Vista Version 4.0.1.0+ (Build ID: f26d3e43e8ead5c978a7efd1c7a84c8cd0a2758) It works fine with 3.5.7.2 => regression Importance: high major because this can affect people who are just in charge to manage data in spreadsheet and are not the designer of the spreadsheet (no workaround for them)

Thank you, Michel, for dealing with this and increasing the importance - I fully agree. It is sad to see Libreoffice 4.0 being released without a fix for this, nor for #59843 and a few other little formatting things. I already read bad comments on heise.de where people are saying that libreoffice is not worth using because now that 4.0 is released it is still breaking their formats. I on the other hand think that it is a *great* tool and with those bugs having a fix already, you could have prevented some bad publicity by waiting just a little longer with the release...
Hello Easily reproducible with the attached file in comment 4 Steps to reproduce. 1. Open the workbook A conditional formatting is defined on A3:C7 (A1 = 1) A1 = 1 so A3:C7 is red: Ok 2. Select A3:C7 3. Press the Delete key Expected Result A3:C7 remains in red Actual result: A3:C7 turns yellow (conditional formatting is lost) Edit> Undo Delete does *not* restore the conditional formatting Platform: windows XP Pro & Version 4.0.0.2 .0.2 (Build ID: 5991f37846fc3763493029c4958b57282c2597e) About the importance of bug, there is no loss of data, only the formatting. I agree, however, to define the importance "high". No message warns the user. He may lose many formatting before realizing the problem, need to check many files and reluctant to get back into using it... Regards Pierre-Yves
Bug seems to be fixed in 4.0! The bigger problem that is that I have no idea when I fixed it in master. It might just be a result of the last larger refactoring that I did in the handling of conditional formats. I'll see if I find the commit.
Created attachment 75124 [details] CF bug in 4.0 demonstration The bug is *NOT* fixed in 4.0.0.3! The attached file contains two CF cells: - one cell with background color yellow, if the cell value is '1' - one cell with background color green, if the cell value is '2' Reproduce Bug: 1.) open CF_Bug.ods 2.) mark the two cells 3.) Edit-Delete Contents (only 'Text' and 'Numbers' selected) => Ok 4.) On one of the two cells choose Format -> Conditional Formatting => now the CF of the two cells is gone

The original report with sample 2013-02-08 10:07 UTC, Michel Rudelle is concerning lost CF of a cell range after all cell range (A3:C7 in sample document) has been delete with key <Del>. That problem was still reproducible with Server Installation of "LibO 4.0.0.3 - GERMAN UI / German Locale [Build ID: 7545bee9c2a0782548772a21bc84a9dcc583b89)]" {tinderbox: @6, pull time 2013-01-31 11:30(?)} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) with separate new User Profile and is fixed for Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 094bab7f9097fba62800d3dd578bd42640d8c6e) TinderBox: Win-x86@6, Branch:master, Time: 2013-03-18_01:35:56 (as already confirmed by several other users) @9dz83inRE61FoLF: Nobody said that the bug has been fixed for 4.0.0.3, so I do not understand you comment and why you added a sample document. If it shows the same results like Attachment 74418 [details] in the same case it is superfluous, if it shows different results it is concerning a different bug and needs a different bug report. Additionally the original sample document is concerning a problem with a CF range, your document shows separate CF for separate cells, what is something different. I will obsolete the attachment for now to avoid worrying (I oserved some different behavior between CF ranges and CF single cells, bt none of these differences seems related to this bug here. But of course it will be useful to check whether we have remaining problems with CF in separate cells. A quick test did not show remaining problems with above mentioned 4.1.0.0.alpha0+, but results should be checked for every backport. If results differ between the documents that would show that there is a separate bug needing an additional bug report with reference <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA-FAQ#How_to_use_attached_sample_documents_for_multiple_Bug_Reports> to the obsoleted attachment.
Comment on attachment 75124 [details] CF bug in 4.0 demonstration For some tests this document shows different results than in original sample (unrelated to reported bug), so I obsolete it for now to avoid worrying.
*** Bug 57176 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This bug is fixed under Windows 7 32-bit Professional LibO Version 4.0.2.2 Version 4.0.2.2 (Build ID: 4c82dcdd6efcd48b1d8bba66bfe1989deee49c3) Thank you very much for this fix, which solves part of my daily problems that occur when I use Delete on the keyboard to clear cell contents. However, I still have a daily problem unresolved, which I believe is related to this bug: Conditional Formatting is still lost when using Context Menu (i.e. Right click on a Windows machine), followed by Paste Only > Number to paste new numbers into cells containing CF (or using the Paste Only Value button which I've added to my toolbar) I'll be filing a new bug report based on my CashCheck_test.ods spreadsheet from the closed duplicate bug number 57176 with a new version CashCheck_test2.ods Thanks again for this fix though.
Hi rh (In reply to comment #24) > Conditional Formatting is still lost when using Context Menu (i.e. Right > click on a Windows machine), followed by Paste Only > Number to paste new > numbers into cells containing CF Could you have a look at comment 19 before filing a new bug please? I think you observe the same thing I saw. If you confirm, perhaps it is more useful to reopen bug 62267, which I have not done, awaiting further advice. Regards,

Before reading this and digesting post 19, I just did open a new bug, Bug 63278, mainly to attach a new example file, CashCheck_test2.ods, with instructions to replicate. I wish I'd read this bug thread, which duplicated my old one, a little more carefully, to realise that you'd also mentioned this point. If I had already read it, I probably assumed both would be fixed by the same patch. I did indeed find that on my CashCheck_test2.ods file, going into Conditional Format/Manage/select cells K2:K13 and Edit, OK, OK was a way to successfully recover the CF display as you point out. I suspect I'll continue to use my own Format Painter workaround (see Bug 63278) as it's less effort, though if I forget, your method will recover the format even when I forget to preserve a cell without the lost formatting. Hopefully the two bugs spring from the same cause and this Paste Only Number bug could be a quick win now that the Delete version of the CF bug is fixed. Thanks again for fixing the Delete version of the bug.
Marking as Fixed as it seems like Markus has solved this one. @Markus - apologies if this is not the case
Hi, Having worked a lot with CF for about 2 months, since version 4.0.2, I have never encountered a loss of CF (neither on a cell range nor a single cell). On the other hand, I can confirm that the bug 62267 is not a duplicate (comment 17), and I reopen this other bug This bug can therefore be closed if you agree with me. Latest test: Version 4.0.3.3 (Build ID: 0eaa50a932c8f2199a615e1eb30f7ac74279539)-Vista-32b
