Comment 12 for bug 1854183

I have Build-ID: 1:6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.11

I can open writer but when opening calc on console, it gives me a

$ libreoffice --calc
Warning: failed to read path from javaldx

(soffice:5005): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:39:12.849: infinite surface size not supported

(soffice:5005): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:39:12.849: infinite surface size not supported

The outcome is that a calc window is not visible but instead, it seems to be a transparent window which still displays its background, e.g. other programs in the background or the desktop.

For no apparent reason I cannot use calc any more. I did not change anything and I did not install updates since it was working the last time.

This is really a showblocker in such an important application. The workarounds described above are not suitable for ordinary users of calc.

I've never seen this before while heavily using ubuntu 18.04 (and its version of calc) since it came out - and theoretically, it still has support for one year.

My expectation would have been that someone posted a link to a libreoffice bug. And once this is fixed, there should be a fix in ubuntu as well.
