--- Comment #4 from Owen Genat <owen.ge...@gmail.com> ---
David, I would agree. Furthermore, under Tools > Options... > LibreOffice Calc
> Formula > Detailed calculation settings > Custom > Details... (v4.0.2.2) it
makes no difference to the results of the example spreadsheet I provided
whether "Treat empty string as zero" is set to True or False (default). On the
surface, this would seem problematic, however I am not sure it is that simple.

The reason I was hesitant to suggest my test as a confirmation is because it
may illustrate more than one issue or even a different issue. The infix
operator "=" may not be in error. Rather it could be the manner in which
certain characters are handled or reported to the infix operator. It could also
be a problem with the handling of the empty string value. I am not familiar
with the code enough to determine is this is the case or not.

>From the perspective of a user it does appear, in simple terms, that there is a
problem of some kind, but what the technical nature of that problem is, I am
uncertain. As mariosv indicates, if some of these characters have special
meaning, it may not be possible to conduct equality tests via the infix
operator "=". I will be interested in the outcome either way.
