Hi.

When going to the Format / Conditional / Manage dialogue, which lists the existing conditional formattings (and for each the Range they affect as well as the First Condition, it is not possible anymore - while the dialogue is open, to scroll in the spreadsheet (e.g. via the scroll bars).

This would however quite often be handy, when one looks for a certain condition and wants to see what's contained in the Range of an entry.

Interestingly, scrolling *does* work again, when from that dialogue, selecting the Edit button.

Cheers,
Chris.

I am able to reproduce this behavior in

Version: 24.2.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: db4def46b0453cc22e2d0305797cf981b68ef5ac
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: default; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

as well as

Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: a2265e8faa099d9652efd12392c2877c2df1d1eb
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: default; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

I definitely think it's strange that scrolling is disabled when in the menu originally, but is enabled when selecting the add or edit buttons.

It's a so-called modal window, which prevents interaction elsewhere when open. The same behaviour is often seen on websites as well. I suppose it doesn't make sense to keep as modal.
