Okay new information:

I **can** edit the attributes of the textbox when I selected a **regular shape beforehand**. 

It seems that the trigger to show the menu when selecting a textbox in calc is not working.
Comment 10 wawa 2025-07-15 20:40:56 UTC
I tried it with 


Version: 25.2.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: bbb074479178df812d175f709636b368952c2ce3
CPU threads: 22; OS: Linux 6.11; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE
Flatpak
Calc: threaded


on Tuxedo OS (Ubuntu based).

Flatpak!

It worked perfectly fine there.
Comment 11 Buovjaga 2025-07-16 19:06:47 UTC
I could repro on Linux as well.

Bibisected with linux-64-25.2 to a5d7b564b23e6802ea995aa444081782a9de6a4a
tdf#166481 sc shapes edit view: fix wrong draw view shell

...which is backported.

That lead me to discover the fix for 25.8, which has not yet been backported to 25.2. I created a backport patch.
