Hi Caolán, I do confirm the issue is fixed in Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: a3e649c3384d19a5ad540c3d65d5f79b66fd9090 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded I've also played around with other dialogs and I couldn't find any wrong behaviour. Can the commits be backported to 6.2 branch ?
sounds good, fixed in master then, and https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/72400/ for 6-2
