Sorry it's taken me so long to get back. It takes me for ever to compile LO as I only have an XP with 2GB of memory! Also, as I only do this every few months I always have to relearn git and compiling LO.
Irrespective as to whether I use Ctrl-1, from the menu bar edit->Format cells or right clicking I do now get the complete dialog. Previously I was only getting it with ctrl-1 and from the menu bar edit->Format Cells. However, the dialog doesn't present itself smoothly, it appears to have 2 or more attempts to draw the dialog before it settles down.
With 4.2.3, cloned from git, more often than not I can't start calc, it just hangs immediately after presenting the sheet, unless I delete the LO config directory AND move libkde4bello.so and libvclplug_kde4lo.so out of the way. This might be unrelated to the patch for this bug as kde4 integrating with LO is buggy, IMHO. However, when I do move libkde4bello.so and libvclplug_kde4lo.so out of the way the Format Cells dialog presents itself smoothly albeit a bit more slowly than when I use LO 4.2.2.
Overall, I think we're probably better off without the patch unless the above issues can be resolved.
