Description Jerzy Moruś 2017-09-20 09:18:40 UTC
When you freeze columns, you can not type a formula into the first two columns outside a frozen column, pointing the cell from another sheet.
You need to enter the entire formula from the keyboard.

Thank you for reporting the bug.
Unfortunately without clear steps to reproduce it, we cannot track down the origin of the problem.
Please provide a clearer set of step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the problem.
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the steps are provided
Comment 2 Jerzy Moruś 2017-09-20 13:45:50 UTC
I have sheet1 and sheet2.
In sheet1 I freeze column A.
In cell B1 I want to have the formula =sheet2.B1
In sheet1, in cell B1 I insert = sign.
With the mouse I want to indicate cell B1 in sheet2
The formula does not arise.
This will only happen when I create formula in D1 cell.

Comment 6 Jerzy Moruś 2018-08-19 09:08:13 UTC
In version Calc 6.0.6.2 the problem still occurs.
It appears only when the "=" sign is entered from the keyboard.
I have sheet1 and sheet2.
In sheet1 I freeze column A.
In cell B1 of Sheet1 I want to have the formula "=sheet2.B1"
In sheet1, in cell B1 I insert "=" sign from keyboard.
Next with the mouse I want to indicate cell B1 in sheet2
The formula does not arise.
With this method, you can not create formulas in the next two columns after frozen columns.
When I use "=" sign from icon, formula is created.

Comment 9 Jerzy Moruś 2019-09-02 13:15:48 UTC
Today, in September 2019, the problem still exists.
In my two 6.2 versions: 32-bit and 64-bit.
And it is exactly like in the attached video in the first two columns adjacent to the frozen column when we want to indicate a cell from another sheet.
For example, in Sheet1, column B is frozen. An attempt to enter the formula by pointing the cell with the mouse or keyboard fails.
In the C or D column of this worksheet, I cannot enter the formula by entering the following actions from the keyboard: "character = CTRL+PgDn (This is next sheet) arrow keys".
However, I can use it in column E.
