Hi.
Noticed an unexpected behavior in calc in regards cell references changing when data is cut and pasted. Not what I expected but others may consider it normal. Goes from LO3.4.1 back to OOO3.2.1

In a new sheet, column A, from A1 enter p,f,p,f,p,f.
In column B1 enter formula =if(A1="p","pass","fail") and copy down.

If there is a "p" in A there is a "pass" in B as expected.

Highlight A1:A6 and drag down 1 row. The "p" and "pass" no longer line up. An expected result as the cells are effectively moved.

Highlight A1:A6, cut and paste down 1 row. The "p" and "pass" no longer line up. An unexpected result. I am cutting the data to remove it and pasting the data to enter it.

Highlight A1:A6, copy and paste down 1 row. The "p" and "pass" still line up. An expected result.

What should be the result of a cut then subsequent paste. The above seems prone to cause problems without a warning that cut and paste will modify all formulae referencing cut cells.

If I am analysing some entered data and think to myself "I will just cut and past this data over there while I type in some new numbers" then I have just unknowingly wrecked my analysis.
