Description Mike Bell 2015-08-23 16:08:38 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
1. Select a cell with a formula or value in.
2. Select menu Format / Conditional Formatting / Condition...
3. Under Condition 1, "Cell value is", "equal to" type "=" into the empty text field.
4. Program crashes immediately and initiates document recovery.

(Was expecting to be able to enter an expression at this point)

LibreOffice 5.0.0.5
LibreOffice 4.4 (works fine)

Laszlo: noticing http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=fd28dea50930797652afbdce6992bea08c56caa0, I thought you might be interested in this one. 

With this naive patch, I got no crash:

Comment 8 Katarina Behrens (Inactive) 2015-08-29 15:25:14 UTC
Slightly different approach: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/18126 but maybe also totally off ... depends on whether '=' can be matched as cell value or it's essentially and error

Julien: maybe combine our two patches, two wrongs can cancel each other :D and make it right

OP: To match formula cells, 'formula is' (instead of 'cell value is') item is much better choice

Sorry I hadn't seen you had submitted a patch to review. I don't know what should be done here. Perhaps we should ask advice to Calc experts?

Example of conditional formatting with "="

The logical result should be to match the character "=". This is how other spread sheets handle it. In this example, "na" is black and "=" is blue. This is how Google Sheets, Excel, and WPS sheets all handle it. Until this bug is fixed, you can't actually create the attached file in Calc.

Calc does match "=" character if you quote it (just like any other character or string, otherwise they're considered to be range/sheet names)

Anyway, that's orthogonal to this issue, can you please file a different bug for that?
