Description Paul S 2025-08-22 07:20:44 UTC
Description:
Within LibreOffice Calc, when the toolbar style is set to "Single Toolbar", the "Clone Formatting" button on the toolbar does not always light up / activate when it should.

When the button is in the disabled state when it shouldn't, I can still right click the cell and select "Clone Formatting".

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View->User Interface->Set "Single Toolbar" User Interface.
2. Select a cell and Clone formatting button lights up / becomes enabled
3. Click the data entry line below the toolbar, Clone formatting buttons becomes disabled (correct)
4. Press ESC key on keyboard, comes out of edit mode, Clone formatting button sometimes remains disabled.

When in this disabled state, clicking another cell does not reactivate the button.

It can sometimes become re-activated by entering the data entry box and pressing enter.

Actual Results:
The "Clone Formatting" button remains greyed out/disabled.

Expected Results:
The "Clone Formatting" button should be lit up/enabled.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
Does not happen in Standard Toolbar.

I can confirm with Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 8ea8e254a3151f5390f3a10ff156fcaf8e7c5d5c
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: cs-CZ (cs_CZ.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

It doesn't happen every time, but when you click empty cell it happens more often.
