Sometimes, when a column is selected, clicking the paintbrush icon does not result in paintbucket cursor. This also seems to be associated with strange behavior when trying to create a new column, sometimes crashing Calc. (And unavoidable recovery process then trashes the document.) This is new behavior for me, and it is not consistent, so I suspect it is related to the content of my xls file (or hardware! [but I doubt it]). It seems to happen the first time a sheet or document has been opened, but not every time. Obviously, this is not enough info to debug. I will add more if I can find out more.
Hello pb, Thank you for filing the bug. Please send us a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO', so please do change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once you have attached a document. (Please note that the attachment will be public, remove any sensitive information before attaching it.) How can I eliminate confidential data from a sample document? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FAQ#How_can_I_eliminate_confidential_data_from_a_sample_document.3F Thank you
Sorry, I should have set it as needinfo in the first place. The document that I have been seeing this on is a financial spreadsheet. Sanitizing it would involve removing everything except dates. Since I suspect the bug is data-dependent, it would be sort of pointless to submit a sanitized document for a possibly data-dependent bug that happens only sporadically. I just wanted to put down a marker that it happens -- it might click with someone who is working on another seemingly different bug. At some point, I may be able to determine more.
