Conditional Formatting is still broken, and has been since 3.5.7.
When bringing up the conditional format window, you cannot change to a different tab to select a cell. For years this has been a problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select a cell
2.Click format, click conditional format, click condition.
3.Try to change to another sheet tab in the workbook

Actual Results:  
You cannot go to another sheet tab in the workbook to select a cell

Expected Results:  
Be able to go to another sheet tab in the workbook to select a cell

Reset User Profile?No. This bug has been the exact same for years. The last time conditional formatting worked, like it does in all other spread sheet applications, was v3.5.7
Once again, due to this long standing bug, we are unable to use LibreOffice.

conditional formatting dialog

Hello, I can click on another sheet and conditional format dialog accept it (see printscreen) - value $Sheet2.$B$14.

I cannot select to another sheet "Cell range, Range:" - it's your problem?

I have a workbook open, and it consists of 3 sheets. I am on sheet 1.
I want to conditional format cell A1. I open the conditional format dialog box, and I click on the tab to see sheet 2 or sheet 3, it does not allow viewing those sheets. With conditional format dialog box open, I can not view any other sheet.

Changing sheets works if you have focus in the text field, see prinscreen.

Setting to new, allow change sheets immediatelly after openning dialog.
Comment 5 dave 2016-03-06 17:31:19 UTC
So focus in the text field, and then click on a sheet tab, which takes focus out of text field. What's the point of the extra step of clicking in the conditional format text field?
Will continue to use Microsoft Office in a Virtualbox, or the older LibreOffice v3.5.7, which worked as expected.
I have nothing more to add to this report.
