            Bug ID: 101124
           Summary: MERGE and centre cells loses formula
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: rob...@iafrica.com

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:47.0)

Build Identifier: LibreOffice 5.2.1.0.0

If I create a formula in a cell, and I then want it to act in a merged group of
cells, the formula is converted to text.
Say I want this to be part of a heading across multiple columns.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create formula in a cell
2. select 2 or more cells
3. select "Merge Cells"
4. the formula is converted to text
Actual Results:  
formula converted to text
Has been doing this in previous beta versions
does the same in LO 4.4.3.2 so is not a new issue.
work around is to merge cells first, then to paste formula into merged cells,
however, this is counter-intuitive, especially for persons who have to use MS
Excel a lot

Expected Results:  
Should keep the formula, or there should be an option to do so.
not apply relative addressing changes, since this is a move (cut&paste), not
copy, if it has to move the formula to the first cell.
