Bug Description

In latest Raring, LO Calc will freeze and leave Unity/Compiz broken if you try to use autofilter.

Way to reproduce:

1) open lo calc
2) get any content (for example, type test in cell A1)
3) go to Data/filter/autofilter
4) click on the list
5) freeze

Here is the output I get if launching lo from the terminal:

** (soffice:9370): WARNING **: Unknown type: GailWindow
** (soffice:9370): WARNING **: Invalidate all children called

I can't reproduce this with LibreOffice 4.0.1 on Raring. You could see if you get the same issue from a guest session (see login screen).

I can't reproduce in guest session, indeed...

I have tried removing .config/libreoffice in my master session, but the bug persists. Is there a way I can "reset" libreoffice to see if I can make the problem go away ? (maybe a plugin from an older version lying around somewhere ?) ??

Ok, I purged Libreoffice and reinstalled it, and the problem has gone. So we'll never know what happened, but it's kind of fixed for me... Marking as invalid.
