Description marius.spix 2013-07-17 17:59:24 UTC
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new spreadsheet document with at least one sheet.
2. Open the "Manage Names" dialog
3. Assign a name to a range (or a single cell, which does not matter) and set the scope of the name to any sheet (but not to "Document (Global)")
4. Select the above assigned range in the corresponding sheet

Current behavior:
The name box displays the selected range (e. g. "A1" or "A1:C6")

Expected behavior:
The name box should display the assigned name (e. g. "myField" or "myMatrix") This currently only works for names in the global scope. MS Excel 2007 shows the name in the local scope.
Operating System: Linux (Other)
Version: 3.6.6.2 release

Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on:
Version 4.1.1.2 
Platform: Ubuntu 13.04
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 
As I've been able to confirm this problem on an earlier release I am changing the version number as version is the earliest version that we can confirm the bug, we use comments to say that the bug exists in newer versions as well.

Marking as:

New (confirmed)
Trivial - no impact at all but should probably say name not range
Lowest

In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise
