When trying to select a custom color in Conditional Formatting, the Custom Color window is completely unresponsive. This happens with all types of conditional formatting where a color can be selected: font color, border color and background color.
Example:
Select a cell, and go to the menu Format -> Cells -> Conditional Formatting.
By default, Background is checked. This is fine for our test. Now, click Edit Style, then click the color selection button (the color square or the arrow, they work the same), and select Custom Color at the bottom of the selection box.
In the new window that appears, try to change anything. Or try to click Cancel or OK. It won't work. Trying to close the window won't work either.
A couple of notes that might make debugging easier:
- When you try to close a window (the cross in the title bar, or "Close" in a related menu), and the window stays open, you usually get a time-out window asking wether you want to wait for the window to close gracefully, or force it to close. In this case, that window doesn't appear at all.
- When you close the window that called the color selector (in this case, the window titled "Format Cells", the color selection window suddenly becomes responsive again, except for the Cancel and OK buttons.
- The color selector closes automatically when you close Gnumeric completely.
