Normally, when reevaluating a cell, the following output cell is overwritten with the new result. I have a lengthy notebook in which at some point for unknown reasons each reevaluation generates a new output cell. I have no clue how to stop this - I think it has to do with the option OutputAutoOverwrite
, but setting this to True does not help. Any clue on how to reset the behaviour of the notebook to the default?
After experimenting more the situation gets even worse: If I set both CellAutoOverwrite
and OutputAutoOverwrite
to True
, reevaluating expressions overwrite now the following output cell. But if there is a text cell following the output cell, the text cell gets overwritten with the revised output cell! And if there is a subsection cell following the output cell, the output cell is deleted, but the new output cell is placed after the subsection cell...
Found the reason now for this strange behaviour: All text cells and subtitle cells had received the option CellAutoOverwrite->True
. By manually changing this to False
(but leaving OutputAutoOverwrite
to True
), the notebook behaves now again normally.
