I'm trying to set up a sheet with multiple listboxes nearly alike,
each taking its data from a cell range in another sheet in the same
file ('other sheet'.b218:b238).  If I copy one and paste it, the
pasted copy does not work -- it does not pull any data (drop-down does
not have any items, even blank ones, even though it is specified to
have 20).

Any suggestions other than "create each listbox by hand"?  The reason
I'm using copy/paste is that each box is supposed to be the same size,
and take the same input (while feeding a different cell).

Just to give specifics, this is running LibreOffice 3.3.1 OOO330m19
(Build:8) tag libreoffice-3.3.1.2 (32-bit) Windows version under
64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium.

I have now confirmed that the problem exists in the 64-bit build on
Ubuntu 10.10.

1.  What happens if data source becomes ('other sheet".$b$218:$b$238) ?;

It can't; if I input that into "Source cell range" as soon as I tab
out the $s are stripped out of the reference.

and/or
2.  What happens if copy/paste/special is used?

The same thing.  However, I have determined that saving and reloading
the sheet makes the list boxes work.  I'm pretty sure this is a bug,
but don't know what further info is wanted by the developers to work
the problem (especially as I can't send a file that is a test case,
just instructions on how to reproduce).
