SCM revealed that I 'fixed' one table with an empty header around Christmas last year. But I can't remember if I found the problem a few weeks earlier or a few months. >> I liked the old behaviour (but it's not super important for me) > > The problem is that I don't know what is "the old behaviour".

The table, that I mentioned above is updated every three months. Even if the formulas would not have been applied three or four times before I found out about it, I wouldn't have used Org version 7.8 (the one that Russell uses) or earlier back at that time, I think. If the change is somewhere in, let's say, org-table.el, one thing I can vaguely imagine is that an older org-table.el was lying around and got loaded. I experienced something like that with ob-sh.el and ob-shell.el. But on the other hand, I have trouble to understand how that could happen (other than with ob-sh the file name stayed the same). > What is that behaviour? I have a handful of tables like the following: |---+---+----| | 3 | 4 | | |---+---+----| #+TBLFM: $3=$2-$1 I don't add data to them very frequently. But since they all have the third column filled, I think recalculating had worked in tables formated like that before. If you give me a week or so I will try to find the change set that introduced the current behaviour. Regards hmw
