2012-01-29 19:21:01 Stan Schymanski description While using Gnumeric, I experienced the following: If you add a data filter to a column (Data -> Filter), and then click on the little arrow in the top cell to display all the values you can filter for, all other areas of the screen become unresponsive to any mouse clicks, the computer becomes unresponsive to keyboard shortcuts and even the On/Off button causes no response! All you can do is to click somewhere in the list to apply the filter or press Esc on the keyboard to leave the mask. I believe that this is a major flaw in the operating system, as any program causing such a state and then crashing can cause complete loss of control over the OS, as described e.g. for LibreOffice at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40141. In my opinion, no program shouls be able to block control about other visible windows, the keyboard and especially not the On/Off button. This could be a bug in the design, so I don't know what package it refers to. Sorry. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 Gnumeric Spreadsheet 1.10.17 While using Gnumeric, I experienced the following: If you add a data filter to a column (Data -> Filter), and then click on the little arrow in the top cell to display all the values you can filter for, all other areas of the screen become unresponsive to any mouse clicks, the computer becomes unresponsive to keyboard shortcuts and even the On/Off button causes no response!
