Description wrk0650 2022-10-21 19:04:13 UTC
Description:
Can't seem to apply color to the cells. There's nothing in "Format", and I couldn't see anything on the toolbar or pulldown menus.

Plus -- Why the hell did you put the stuff about resetting user profile at the END of all this? AFter all the work of trying to report the bug, THEN you make me dump it all and try to fool with my user profile?  Damn you !!!

Actual Results:
There's no way I could see to add color background to a cell.

Expected Results:
Geez Louise... I expected a wheelbarrow full of gold coins


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Free? Sorry. I just want that half-hour of my life back that I spent trying to figure out something that I believe used to be accessible by right-clicking on the cell, yes? Plus the 20 minutes I spent trying to file a bug report when there was a message AT THE END OF IT saying I should check my user profile -- itself an arcane function.

Plus, this is just one of many frustrations. Lately, a bunch of stuff that used to work no longer does. I made charts of rainfall that mysteriously shrank in size, and I never could figure out why or how to fix them. They also contained text inside that suddenly changed orientation for no apparent reason.

I minored in CSci during my doctorate, and have spent thousands of hours writing code. They taught me to make things user-friendly, not to bury common functions 4 layers deep. Plus, I donate money to Libre Office. So, don't tell me this is completely "free". Time is money, too. However, I do have great respect for the project. So, how about we shake hands and get on with it. I recognize that you guys are doing very important work. Because, otherwise, we'd be completely at the mercy of Microsoft.

Please don't send private messages, except it's truly necessary.

Be respect, it's free for you.

And right-click - Format cells, it's other way.
