Dear Emil Tanev, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

*** Bug 157071 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Same in recent master build: Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: b3fdd999f87312447d03915585812b3a5cd48141 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded But what would be a preferred behaviour? An error message? Nothing? -> asking for UX/Design team opinion. Just noting that currently, regarding hidden sheet behaviour, we have: - Using "Sheet > Navigate > Go to sheet..." does not list the hidden sheet. - Ctrl + Page Down / Page Up bypasses the hidden sheet too. - "Edit > Select > Select to next / previous sheet" jumps over the hidden sheet. Only way to show the sheet again is to use the Show Sheet dialog.
I would show the sheet and switch rather than some modification on the hyperlink to make it look like disabled or to interrupt the workflow with a message box (or less obtrusive an infobar which could OTOH provide means to show/activate the target anyway).
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. Feasible options to solve the reasonable issue are a) switch anyway (and show the hidden sheet, maybe only temporarily) alternatively unhide the hidden sheet permanently, since the temporary action might be surprising b) show some info bar, message box, balloon tip c) disable the link and change the appearance accordingly We have to consider protected sheets where switching is not an option, so a) is not applicable in all situations. The idea of c) to disable the link was rejected since it might be hard to understand for users. So what remains is b). We suggest to go with a balloon tip since an infobar would move the sheet content downward and be rather a global information anyway than related to the actual cell/action. And the message box is too interruptive.

And the message box is too interruptive. Balloon tip that says "The linked sheet is hidden, following the link will take you to the nearest visible sheet.", with same behaviour as currently? Or inactive link with balloon tip that just says "The linked sheet is hidden."?

And the message box is too interruptive. I would prefer we'd go with option a) for hidden sheets and with option b) for protected sheets. There are situations where a user might want to keep sheets hidden and navigate through them with hyperlinks. Option b) alone would not help.
(In reply to Stéphane Guillou (stragu) from comment #10) > "The linked sheet is hidden."? This. (In reply to lore from comment #11) > I would prefer we'd go with option a) for hidden sheets and with option b) > for protected sheets. Would have been my choice too. But showing a hidden sheet might be unwanted whether protected or not, and it leads either to confusion (and implementation effort) if temporarily shown or clearly unwanted in many case being permanently shown.

But showing a hidden sheet might be unwanted > whether protected or not, and it leads either to confusion (and > implementation effort) if temporarily shown or clearly unwanted in many case > being permanently shown. The confusion could be avoided by simply enabling the hidden sheet with a grayed out tab with the writing "sheet_name - hidden" or something. Eventually there would be 3 states for a sheet: 1. Hidden 2. Shown 3. Temporarily shown -> reverts back to hidden as soon as you leave the sheet I understand the coding effort but this would be the right solution imho, definitely not preventing the user to move to a hidden sheet by simply providing a message: that is good functionality vs no functionality at all. Btw: the "no functionality" option is what Excel does (without even prompting a message).
