Description Daniel Baran 2019-08-14 01:30:25 UTC
Description:
In Calc 6.3.0.4: Issuing a right arrow either manually or via macro code causes a large
column jump on a mostly protected sheet. Right arrow navigation should halt at the last
unprotected column ("N" in this case) as it does in version 6.2.5. Instead, a further right
arrow causes a jump to column "BM". Further right arrows allow column jumps to the right
even though all those cells are all protected.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the file and press right arrow to column "N" (7 times)
2.Pressing once more (8th time) will cause an unexpected cursor jump to column "BM".
3.In this partially protected sheet, columns beyond "N" should not be selectable.


Actual Results:
Same as Above!

Expected Results:
In previous LO Calc version (6.2.5), the cursor would not move further after pressing the
right arrow key once the last unprotected column was reached (expected behavior).



Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

This file is an updated version of the original test case.

This file is an updated version of the original ODS workbook that revealed the bug.
The bug is evident when using this file in LO 6.3.5.2 (and seemingly anything after 6.2.8).
It can be used for testing of patched, or other future releases if desired.

Comment 16 Daniel Baran 2020-03-16 00:19:18 UTC
The following updated test result applies to both of the following versions:

Version: 6.4.2.2
Build ID: 4e471d8c02c9c90f512f7f9ead8875b57fcb1ec3

CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

The original (column jump) problem seems to be resolved when the file is first opened.
However, after executing the "End of Day" macro, the column jump problem returns.

This does not happen in:

Version: 6.2.8.2 (x64)
Build ID: f82ddfca21ebc1e222a662a32b25c0c9d20169ee
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the workbook.
2. Press -  Right Arrow to column "N". Further Right Arrows do nothing (expected).
3. Execute "End of Day" macro, then return to Sheet1.
4. Right Arrows beyond column "N" cause a large jump to column "BM" (unexpected)

Comment 22 Luboš Luňák 2022-03-07 17:47:51 UTC
This is actually not a mostly protected sheet. Editting the Default cell style (after unlocking the document) shows that the default style has protection turned off => only cells with explicit styles that turn protection on are locked, but most of the sheet is not protected.

So originally this worked as intended. I will revert this change.

Hi Lubos,
I don't get it, checking with an older version

Comment 24 Luboš Luňák 2022-03-07 19:48:07 UTC
Created attachment 178706 [details]
test document with password removed

This is sc/qa/unit/uicalc/data/tdf126904.ods, with password removed. Open it, cancel Tools->Protect Sheet, go to e.g. cell CA4, right-click->Format Cells->Cell protection => the cell is not protected => jumping to those cells is correct. That's also why there's the follow-up "bug".

I don't have an old LO version to check, but I expect it'll be the same.
Comment 25 Daniel Baran 2022-03-07 22:08:02 UTC
Like Xisco, I don't get it either.
While it's true that with the sheet protection removed, the column jump does nor occur,
the original workbook was not designed to operate in that fashion.
There is partial protection by design. Some cells are protected, some are not.
In that mode, the column jump will occur. I've just retested this by reinstalling 6.3.0.4 in
a "parallel" install. It's hard to see how that could be an expected behavior.
Also, changing this status at this late date, seems odd considering the unexpected behavior was resolved in subsequent releases (quite some time ago).
Current behavior (in 7.2.5 and 7.3.1)  is exactly as expected.
Comment 26 Luboš Luňák 2022-03-07 22:19:28 UTC
As already said, the cursor is jumping to cells in the BM column because they are not protected. If you want it to work as you expect, fix your document.
Comment 27 Daniel Baran 2022-03-08 00:21:56 UTC
Here's the thing;
Attachment 178706 [details] is NOT my document.
That is an altered version posted by someone else and not my doing.
My last attachment was 158322.
When I test with that, things get interesting.

In LO 6.3.0.4:
If I unlock Sheet1, cell protection is switched on up to column BL.  Cells beyond are UNprotected.

In LO 7.2.5.2:
If I do the exact same test on the exact same file;
Sheet1, cell protection is switched on up to AND BEYOND column BL.  Cells beyond ARE protected.

So there is clearly a difference in the way these two LO versions are interpreting
protection settings on the very same file.

It's imortant to note also, that these same workbooks did not exhibit the unexpected behavior in much earlier versions of LO either.

So the behavior came, and then went, not by altering the workbooks, but by changes made to LibreOffice.

This tells me that a bug was fixed somewhere between 6.3 and 7.2.
That fix remains valid in 7.3 testing I have done as well, and I am grateful for that.

Lastly; I could probably workup a stripped down and unlocked file that reproduces
what I've just decribed, but it hardly seems worth it since this problem seems to have
been resolved for some time now.
Comment 28 Daniel Baran 2022-03-08 06:52:15 UTC
Since I had taken the time to setup the parallel install utility, I did one further test.
This time in LO 6.1.2.1.
As I anticipated, the 158322 file works normally in it.
And as with LO 7.2.5.2, Sheet1 cell protection is switched on up to AND BEYOND column BL.
Cells beyond BL ARE protected.
So this is further indication that some LO versions between 6.1 and 7.2 (e.g. 6.3) were
not seeing the cell protections that had been applied to the original spreadsheet file.
Comment 29 Luboš Luňák 2022-03-08 10:26:18 UTC

Attachment #158322 [details] is inded a bit different, it protects first 1024 columns. So with software that supports only up to 1024 columns it looks like everything is protected, but the Default cell style still has protection turned off.

So e.g. with software that supports more than 1024 columns any cells beyond that limit are not protected. LibreOffice 7.4 will most likely support 16384 columns, so cursor will jump to cells in the AMK column there, as those are not protected. Perhaps part of the 16384 column support will be extending attributes of column 1024 to all new columns, which would cover the problem with this document, but fundamentally the document has unprotected cells, and the proper way to deal with it is to fix the document.

It's possible that some older LO versions had a bug in handling of protected cells, but change from commit #10 is incorrect and will be reverted.

Comment 31 Daniel Baran 2022-03-08 19:20:09 UTC
I'm seeing now that a recommended method of [formatting all the cells in a sheet] may not be a "best practice".
While the link below is quite an old post, it is one of the first things found
when searching the subject and seemingly from an authoritative source.

https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-do-you-blanket-format-all-cells-in-calc-spreadsheet-in-one-go/3355

So it seems like that advice should be depricated if possible and replaced with the "Default Style" method.
I have located the Default Style / Cell Protection setting, but I have to say, it's pretty obscure:
       
   F11, Right-Click "Default", Modify etc.

It would be good for that to be less buried:   e.g.    "Cell Style" could be right in the tree under "Default".
I realize a User Interface gripe is not the main topic here, but there is a connection.
Hopefully using this method going forward will minimize the recurrence of this problem.
Comment 32 Daniel Baran 2022-03-08 23:29:49 UTC
After completing this recommendation in a number of workbooks, I had a realization.
I'm setting protections for cells (and in columns) which don't yet exist.
It's not too hard to see how end users might not anticipate that requirement.
Comment 33 Luboš Luňák 2022-03-09 07:24:14 UTC
You're setting something that should be set by default. You can create a new blank document and check that the Default style there has protection set. I don't know how come it's changed for your documents, whether you changed it at some point, or it was a bug in old LO versions or something else, but it's not normally supposed to be that way.
Comment 34 Daniel Baran 2022-03-09 17:27:23 UTC
Thanks Luboš,
While I don't think I changed default protections previously,
these workbooks have been amended over a number of years
and with multiple LibreOffice versions. So it's quite possible
there are some legacy carry-over issues as you suggest.
I have audited all of my documents regarding this, and will
certainly be checking it as standard operating procedure.
Your insights are much appreciated.

Comment 35 Daniel Baran 2022-03-11 21:53:59 UTC
I have been convinced that it's a best practice to set protections via default cell styles. However, I found that doing that in the test case 158322 does not correct the column jumping behavior in LO 6.3.0.4 (where it was originally observed). So it seems that there was more to this than the [default cell styles] settings. I'm not sure if this test result is meaningful at this point, so I am posting it just in case.

Version: 6.3.0.4 (x64)
Build ID: 057fc023c990d676a43019934386b85b21a9ee99
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: CL

The unexpected behavior has not been seen in any of the recent LO versions.
Comment 36 Daniel Baran 2022-03-12 01:35:03 UTC
In an effort to create the simplest possible test, I did the following in 6.3.0.4:
Open a new blank file. Default cell protection is ON (in styles) as expected.
Select a small range (e.g. A1:C10) and unprotect the cells.
Then protect the sheet.
What I found to be critical, is what options are chosen while protecting the sheet.
If you tick BOTH "Select protected cells" and "Select unprotected cells",
column navigation behavior is as expected.
If you tick ONLY "Select unprotected cells", while protecting the sheet,
the column jump behavior is present.
So the default cell style protection did not prevent the behavior.
While this has been fixed in later LO versions, I thought it might be of interest.
Comment 37 Daniel Baran 2022-03-20 16:17:53 UTC
Based on Comment 33, I created the test in Comment 36.
The result is that the originally described unexpected behavior is still present.
It seems appropriate that someone else should try to reproduce this.
Comment 38 Daniel Baran 2022-03-26 17:35:43 UTC
The test in comment 36 seems to refute the label of "INVALID".
It is appropriate that someone should reproduce this simple test and report the result.
Comment 39 Luboš Luňák 2022-03-28 07:59:49 UTC
6.3.0.4 is old and no longer supported, so its status is irrelevant.
Comment 40 Daniel Baran 2022-03-28 21:16:01 UTC
The claim in Comment 39 is astonishing.
The status of this bug has now been altered (TWO YEARS) after it seems to have been fixed.
I have reasonably challenged the explanation given for that change, and provided a simple means for testing it's veracity. 
It is now claimed (a MERE 21 DAYS later) that it's "old and no longer supported, so its status is irrelevant".
If that is true now, it would have been true 21 days ago also. So what is the reasoning for this change?
This exercise in bug tracking should be, and mostly is, about process.
Reckless revision of a resolved status is a corruption of the process.
