Ok - the LO shell doesn't see any events, because these are queued and no one is running the qt main loop.
I'm currently looking into QTimer stuff. It looks like it blocks all Timers, if I open a Dialog from a timer event. There seems to be a race somewhere in the Qt event loop handling (wich is actually glib in Qt 4.8). The FormatCells dialog is huge compared to most other dialogs. If I block on any dialog with gdb and just press continue, the event handling / QTimers are dropped. This happens with all dialogs in gdb. So this change makes thuings definitly worse. If I won't find a workaround today for the strange QTimer handling, I'll revert them. BTW - for me LO just works fine, if you directly open any application and not the shell. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272725 Title: [Upstream] LibreOffice Calc Format Cell Dialog is sometimes unusable Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Problem description: In Calc, right-clicking on any cell and then selecting Format Cells often produces a dialog box that is unusable as it is almost transparent. Closing and re-opening the dialog has no effect. Calc has to be restarted to clear the problem. Steps to reproduce: 1. Right click on any Calc cell 2. Select Format Cell Current behavior: Dialog is partly transparent or perhaps it would be better to say its contents are mostly missing. Expected behavior: Dialog allows formatting of cell with all contents visible. Please note: This doesn't happen all of the time but has happened often enough for me to report this as a bug. I'm using Kubuntu 14.04, fully updated with LibreOffice loaded from PPA. The previous version, in the Ubuntu archive (4.1.3?) also exhibits this problem.
