Created attachment 91274
"Format Cells" dialog displayed with no content - transparent.

The "Format Cells" dialog is displayed with no content - just a border
and title bar. See attachment. To see the content this sometimes works -
Click inside the border until the content reveals itself.

Steps to replicate the problem -

1.
Compile libreoffice with the --enable-kde4 flag

2.
Start calc

3.
Fill cells A:1 through BZ:60 with data - I chose 0 thru 9 as my data. See 
attachment.

4.
Select cells BN:7 thru BZ:47

5.
Right click in selection and chose the "Format Cells" option

6.
"Format Cells" dialog displays as just a border and title bar - no content. See 
attachment.

7.
Click anywhere within border of the dialog and sometimes the content appears. 
This sometimes is when a listbox/dropbox is activated by the click. If content 
doesn't appear click the dialogs close button to gain control of spreadsheet.

This looks like a KDE4 backend problem. Doesn't happen with we GNOME backend.
For me not only this Window is transparent, but the whole application stops 
processing (internal?) X11 (paint?) events (just move the window).

If I close the dialog by guessing the button or pressing ESC, everything
continues to work fine...

Actually for me it just happens, if LO has some content in the clipboard
(probably again a QClipboard problem).

And it just happens with this modal dialog. I've tested other dialogs,
which using the same class (SfxTabDialog), but these don't freeze.

Currently I'm investigating, what makes this particular dialog so
special. All threads are actually Yielding, nobody seems to wit for a
lock - very strange.

Can you please verify that the shortcut (Ctrl+1) and "Format -> Cells"
always work correct? I just can test master, which has additional fixes.

Jan-Marek

Thanks for the great work.

As this bug occurs in the KDE integration I can't use the daily builds
to test so I will need to compile then test.

It's been a couple of months since my last successful compile so I
suspect it will take me some time to get up to date of the latest set of
code and successfully compile.

Will keep you posted.

Hi Jan-Marek,

Unfortunately with this commit applied, I now observe this bug with top
level windows, i.e. the main window is transparent, making the app
unusable. Would be great if you could look at this. Thanks in advance.

master from commit 2acdcb2374e448371b173feb03650d8d6db8aba2 pulled some hours 
ago. It's my own build with --enable-kde4. When I revert your commit, this 
problem disappears.

BTW we have similar reports for Windows, there is one from 2011 (!) -
Bug 33985, but I saw a new one some month ago (can't find it now).

Ah... found it, but it's about a different problem. Sorry for the false alarm.

Ok - the LO shell doesn't see any events, because these are queued and
no one is running the qt main loop.

I'm currently looking into QTimer stuff. It looks like it blocks all
Timers, if I open a Dialog from a timer event. There seems to be a race
somewhere in the Qt event loop handling (wich is actually glib in Qt
4.8).

The FormatCells dialog is huge compared to most other dialogs. If I
block on any dialog with gdb and just press continue, the event handling
/ QTimers are dropped. This happens with all dialogs in gdb.

So this change makes thuings definitly worse. If I won't find a
workaround today for the strange QTimer handling, I'll revert them.

BTW - for me LO just works fine, if you directly open any application
and not the shell.

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.

I have this problem also, I am running Kubuntu 14.04 on 64 bit.

I notice that it does not happen initially when I select format cells,
unfortunately I am not certain of the catalyst, but maybe it is saving
the file, but not advanced features I am certain. I do this regularly
and with a manual click, after a few cells are typed and a little copy-
cut and pasting is done the file is saved, and then this transparency
problem occurs with the right click format cells menu/dialogue. This
problem is not a crash to Desktop, but I must close and re-open Loffice
to get the menu to activate.

( I also have encountered a similar sort of time initiated problem with
importing pictures into a spreadsheet. After some time generally I have
to save before importing a picture as the program will Crash-to-desktop.
I only mention this because it will generally work initially. )

I will update if I can narrow the issue to a pinpoint.

Is this still a problem with current LO 4.4 / 5.0?

There were a lot of fixes in the KDE4 VCL backend. At least I don't have
any more problems based on the KDE event handling and redrawing.

And there also weren't any more duplicates added since a year.

If you have additional KDE4 related bugs, please open a new bug report.

If the bug still exists for you, please reopen it.

Title:
  [Upstream] LibreOffice Calc Format Cell Dialog is sometimes unusable

Status in LibreOffice:
  Fix Released
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Problem description: 
  In Calc, right-clicking on any cell and then selecting Format Cells often 
produces a dialog box that is unusable as it is almost transparent. Closing and 
re-opening the dialog has no effect. Calc has to be restarted to clear the 
problem.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Right click on any Calc cell
  2. Select Format Cell

  Current behavior:
  Dialog is partly transparent or perhaps it would be better to say its 
contents are mostly missing.

  Expected behavior:
  Dialog allows formatting of cell with all contents visible.

  Please note:  This doesn't happen all of the time but has happened
  often enough for me to report this as a bug.

  I'm using Kubuntu 14.04, fully updated with LibreOffice loaded from PPA. The 
previous version, in the Ubuntu archive (4.1.3?) also exhibits this problem. 
KDE version is 4.12.1.
