Problem description: If you need to apply conditional formatting to a cell not shown presently on your screen you cannot scroll to the position you would like to use. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a new spreadsheet. 2. On cell A1 you open the 'Format/Conditional Formatting/Condition' 3. This is not important which condition you choose. 4. Try to have the condition to point at a cell outside your present wiev Current behaviour: Point and accept only works on your present view of the part of spreadsheet. Also using the usage of the arrow key's are blocked. Expected behaviour: That the application allows you to scroll to the cell in the spreadsheet you would like to use for the condition. Arrow key's should allow to navigate around in the spreadsheet. The same issue applies to: Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: fbfda39d26da6747edb3a4c6d593be7e6b2b0f1) TinderBox: Linux-x86_64_11-Release-Configuration, Branch:master, Time: 2012-12-09_22:33:10
I guess that this is related to the same issue. The conditional formatting dialogue does not allow to point to cells in another sheet either.
I can confirm this. The range selection dialog for conditional format doesn't allow scrolling in another window. Tested on Windows 7 with Version 4.0.0.3 (Build ID: 7545bee9c2a0782548772a21bc84a9dcc583b89).
I suppose I need to look into that one at some point. This one might become nasty because I had to add some really ugly hacks to make the dialog modal. This might be the reason why we are no longer able to scroll in the dialog. However we should not return to modeless dialogs for the reference edit dialogs as this causes some nasty problems and will kill the current design of how the conditional format dialogs work together.
Hi, What is the outlook for this issue?
Hi, I think needs to be changed to confirmed bug. Please see reply from Markus.
@p_kongstad: NEW means confirmed.
Can be reproduced in Version 4.0.4.2 (Build ID: 9e9821abd0ffdbc09cd8c52eaa574fa09eb08f2)
Can be reproduced in Version: 4.1.1.1 Build ID: a990db030b8125868501634ff662be1d89d0868
This problem started right after version 3.5.7

Horizontal scrolling is still in modal mode and not working. However if you move down the vertical scrolling then it will open up for horizontal scrolling. Vertical scrolling working in Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: ee1b1b865b0ccc7418bbfad2a60cd14f851135a8 TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2013-11-22_23:47:31
It seems this bug was posted in February of 2013. Now it's November, ( almost December ) and still not fixed. I didn't understand why it was ever changed, but it was. Anyway, I couldn't wait any more. Locking 3.5.7 was killing me on other things that needed upgrading, but couldn't be upgraded because of 3.5.7's needs. So I uninstalled Libreoffice all together. Put Win7 in a VirtualBox and Bought MS Office. Problem Solved.
Bug still present version Version: 4.2.0.0.beta2 Build ID: 1a27be92e320f97c20d581a69ef1c8b99ea9885d

Still an issue in Version: 4.3.0.0.beta1 Build ID: 2e39c7e59c8fc8b16a54c3d981dceef27fb0c07f
Still unresolved in Version: 4.3.1.2 Build ID: 958349dc3b25111dbca392fbc281a05559ef6848 This bug is cripling LibreOffice. Please resolve issue as this is long standing. Generally the whole way of working with conditional formatting need to be finished.
Hi, this long standing bug has not evolved during more than one year and still present in Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha2+ Build ID: b7c4c78a097f76314982d8c1a9f2e58df95080a1 Version: 4.3.4.1 Build ID: bc356b2f991740509f321d70e4512a6a54c5f243
Version 3.5.7 was the last working version of Calc with good conditional formating. I had abandoned libreoffice long ago on 11/29/2013. Cranking out new version after new version with the same old bug is kind of pointless. I just want to get taken off this bug list, and stop getting emails about this thing. I have no plans to ever use libreoffice again.
This is now a longstanding bug, which makes using conditional formatting invalid. This is far from user friendly. Still in Version: 4.4.0.0.beta1 Build ID: 9af3d21234aa89dac653c0bd76648188cdeb683e Locale: en_US
@Adolfo: You set this bug to ASSIGNED, but didn't point the "Assigned To" field to yourself. If this isn't what you intended, please adjust accordingly Thanks
@Matthew: it’s not that I forgot to, but the person working on this bug doesn’t seem to have a Bugzilla account ;-) https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/14258
