Description:
Your "enhanced???" Freeze command, to put it mildly is a PoCrap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Followed your instructions but still could never Freeze 2 columns or freeze 7 rows in my spread sheets.
Bring back the EASY TO USE old way!!!!!!!! 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to freeze just two columns and it also freezes the rows!!
2.Try to freeze the top 7 rows and it just freezes one!!
3.Rewrite the instructions or just dump that PoCrap command!!!!!!

Actual Results:
Doesn't work as the instructions state

Expected Results:
Expected to be able to freeze the first 2 columns and the top 7 rows.
IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!


Reproducible: Always

On LO 24.2.3 Debian testing package, to freeze the first 7 rows, here what I do:
- right click on whole row 8
=> contextual menu appears
- select "Freeze Rows and Columns"
OK

to freeze the first 2 columns:
- right click on whole column 3
=> contextual menu appears
- select "Freeze Rows and Columns"
OK

Now to freeze 7 rows and 2 columns, you can begin with rows:
- right click on whole row 8
=> contextual menu appears
- select "Freeze Rows and Columns"
- right click on whole column 3
=> contextual menu appears
- select "Freeze Rows and Columns"
=> it removes freeze of rows
- select again "Freeze Rows and Columns"
=> it puts back freeze of rows and add freeze on both columns
OK but the step "remove of freeze of rows" is weird and unexpected.


Heiko/Xisco: in my last example, we shouldn't have the step "remove of freeze of rows". Ideally, we should be able to select column 3 and row 8 then use "freeze" options to freeze both in the same time.

Closing as "not a bug", seeing comment 3.

I can't see a bug, testing the freezing feature in 24.2.

If you still think there is a bug, please explain and set back to "unconfirmed".
