RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The Random Number Generator dialog box only sees what the mouse selects on the spreadsheet and ignores manual input for a cell range. 

Edit -> Fill -> Random Number, I selected $C$1:$H$25 as a range with my mouse. I then edited the range by replacing $C$1 with $A$1. When I click apply, the random numbers are only filled out in $C$1:$H$25 when clearly, the dialog box has $A$1:$H$25.

I will attach the screen captures of what I witnessed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.2-20150817.n.2
libreoffice-4.3.7.2-5.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See Above
2.
3.

Actual results:
Filling in random numbers in original cells from mouse swipe.

Expected results:
Filling in random numbers in edited cells from keyboard editing.

Additional info:

Created attachment 1065632 [details]
This is the original selection with the mouse

Created attachment 1065633 [details]
This is the edited dialog box using the keyboard and editing the cell value

Created attachment 1065634 [details]
This shows that the cells are filled in, despite what the dialog box says.

I'm investigating.
