Description Sasha Chernykh 2025-10-22 14:33:47 UTC
Description:
I can’t continue working in LibreOffice Calc using solely a keyboard when I select the item “Formula is” in the window “Conditional formatting for”.

This problem prevents the creation of macros when I need using formulas in my macros.


Steps to Reproduce:
I opened any “.csv” file in LibreOffice Calc → “Format” → “Conditional” → “Condition” → “More rules” → I pressed the down key (“↓”) to select the item “Formula is”:

Actual Results:
Pressing any keyboard key has no effect.

Expected Results:
Ability writing a formula after pressing the key “Tab”.


Reproducible: Always

(In reply to raal from comment #1)
> but works in GTK3

Also works when using native Qt widgets, i.e. SAL_VCL_QT_USE_WELDED_WIDGETS=1 on Linux with the commit from comment 2 in place to use native Qt widgets there.

This is independent of the vcl implementation (still used on Windows in any case), however, so that still needs to be investigated.
