Description James 2011-08-07 21:26:12 UTC
If you go to the Insert->Names->Define menu, you will see that you cannot rename a named range. You can only delete the old one and enter a new one. This gets very, very annoying if that range is used in many places on a spreadsheet, because you have no choice but to manually edit each and every cell that used the old name. Note that LO already keeps track of each cell that uses a named range, just in case the range's value has changed.

impossible in 3.4.3 too

REGRESSION from 3.3.4
works fine with 3.3.4 where you can rename without error
