Sort tool on LibreOffice Calc version 4.2.8.2 doesn't work

[Eduardo Varela]

After selecting a whole sheet by means of the rectangle at top of line numbers and a left of column letters, I clicked Data/Sort.
After selecting a column and clicking "Ok" nothing happened, but the screen turned grey.
When closing ibreOffice Calc the SO said:
"The window is not responding
Do you want to force the application to exit, or wait for it to respond?"

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
Release: 14.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
 LibreOffice Calc version 4.2.8.2

3) What you expected to happen
The sorting of the sheet.

4) What happened instead
No sort an crash.

Eduardo Varela, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please attach the spreadsheet that demonstrates this problem?

[Eduardo Varela (vareedu)]

I'm attaching the worksheet, "personas.ods".
I'm sorting it by the first column, descending.

When you select from A1 to B210, Sort works well.
If you select rows 1 to 210, Sort works well.
But if you select all, with the button which is above the "1" of the first
row and at left of the "A" of the first column, Sort doesn't work.

Thank you!
Eduardo.

Eduardo Varela, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is missing.

Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. First, execute at a terminal:
cd /var/crash && sudo rm * ; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo service apport start force_start=1

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart. Now reproduce the crash, then open a terminal, navigate to your /var/crash directory and file your report with:
sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash

where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. By default, this sends the crash to the Ubuntu Error Tracker infrastructure, which is different than Launchpad. For more on this, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker .

However, if after doing this you would still like to have a crash report posted to Launchpad, for example to ease triage and add others to your report, one would need to open the following file via a terminal:
sudo nano /etc/apport/crashdb.conf

and comment out the line:
'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

by changing it to:
# 'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

Save, close, and file the crash report via:
sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash

However, this report is being closed since the process outlined above will deal with this issue more efficiently.

Also, please do not attach your crash report manually to this report and reopen it.

Thank you for your understanding.
