Description LeroyG 2023-07-23 21:22:24 UTC
Description:
As in summary.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Freeze rows and/or columns in a sheet
2. Move/copy the sheet to another/new document (choose menu Sheet - Move or Copy Sheet, or in the contextual menu for the sheet tab)

Actual Results:
Freeze is lost.

Expected Results:
Freeze remains in place.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Freeze remains when the sheet is duplicated or moved/copied to the same document.

Freeze is lost when complete rows/columns (same or all) are selected, copied and pasted (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) into a new sheet. That could be debatable because the new sheet could already have frozen rows/columns.

Hi LeroyG,

First I've confirmed this bug so marking it New.

I also searched for duplicates and found plenty of references to bugs around the Freeze rows/columns command but nobody has pointed this out.

It's interesting - to this day excel has a bug such that opening a second window viewing the same spreadsheet disables freeze rows/columns. But that works for calc!

This is different and I know how annoying this issue is so bug for sure.

One last point for any secondary reviewers or developers - the help page for this command (below) is ok but limited. I could not find any reference to what is supposed to happen to freeze rows/columns when duplicating sheets, copying to new sheets, etc.
