Description pb 2014-11-27 23:47:21 UTC
Sometimes, when a column is selected, clicking the paintbrush icon does not result in paintbucket cursor.  This also seems to be associated with strange behavior when trying to create a new column, sometimes crashing Calc.  (And unavoidable recovery process then trashes the document.)

This is new behavior for me, and it is not consistent, so I suspect it is related to the content of my xls file (or hardware! [but I doubt it]).

It seems to happen the first time a sheet or document has been opened, but not every time.

Obviously, this is not enough info to debug.  I will add more if I can find out more.

Hello pb,

Thank you for filing the bug. Please send us a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug.

How can I eliminate confidential data from a sample document?

Thank you

Sorry, I should have set it as needinfo in the first place.

The document that I have been seeing this on is a financial spreadsheet.  Sanitizing it would involve removing everything except dates.  Since I suspect the bug is data-dependent, it would be sort of pointless to submit a sanitized document for a possibly data-dependent bug that happens only sporadically.

I just wanted to put down a marker that it happens -- it might click with someone who is working on another seemingly different bug.  At some point, I may be able to determine more.
