--- Comment #3 from Anthony Youngman <anth...@youngman.org.uk> ---
raal: Yes, those bugs seem similar. 71339 in particular - the autosum button is
not acknowledging the fact that the user has told it what it is supposed to
sum.

62279 is bemoaning a slightly different problem - when autosum guesses, the
guess is stupid.

So I would say that 71339 and 93257 are the same - autosum ignores a
pre-existing selection, but that 62279 is different, complaining that autosum
guesses wrong when NOT passed a pre-existing selection.

Joel: Click on E6. Shift-click on E8. You now have three cells selected, yes?
Now click on autosum. E8 will be filled by the number 55. 200+55=55????

In fact, for your first click, pick on pretty much ANY cell in column E, and
you will get 55 in E8.


That basically is the bug - you cannot pass a selection IN to autosum, you have
to autosum first and select after, which is completely non-intuitive, and
contrary to every other spreadsheet I know (admittedly a very small set).

I'll build 5, and see if I can reproduce it there, but Eike said it was a
design decision. A design decision to ignore what the user asked for???? and
give them something else????
