Description: Dragging a directory or certain other objects from the desktop (or menu, on some platforms) onto a Calc spreadsheet creates a pushbutton. I don't see how to "use" the pushbutton other than to drag it around, resize it, change its properties, and so forth. But once I save and reopen the spreadsheet, it becomes a functional button, and clicking on it opens the referenced object. However, in the exchange I no longer am able to do any editing tasks on it, such as selecting it, moving it, or deleting it, and it is permanently stuck on my spreadsheet. Reproduced in Linux and Windows. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Drag directory from desktop onto Calc spreadsheet. 2. Save spreadsheet. 3. Close and reopen spreadsheet. Actual Results: Button can be left-clicked to open the referenced directory, but no other editing tasks are available. Right-clicking does nothing. Expected Results: Ability to select, resize, move, change properties, and (most importantly!) delete the button.

A push button belongs to the form controls. When you reopen the file the push button is in execute mode. To change a form control you have to put the file in control edit mode. To switch to control edit mode go to View > Toolbars > Form Controls. The second icon from left is the toggle "Design Mode". Click it. Now you can edit form controls. After saving the file it will automatically be opened in state "off" of this icon.

This worked, thank you so much! Do we close out the bug, work to make the interface more obvious, improve documentation, or...?
I'll resolve this bug report. In the meantime we have https://ask.libreoffice.org. There are experienced users who will help with those problems. If you find something which does not work, please ask there. Nevertheless we could consider to help those users, who are not familiar with form controls. In case you are interested to improve the situation, please discuss in the above mentioned Ask forum or on a mailing list [1] (e.g. design or documentation) how such help could be achieved and then open an enhancement request for that here in Bugzilla.
