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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272725 Title: [Upstream] LibreOffice Calc Format Cell Dialog is sometimes unusable Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New 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.
