Description Paul Grabbe 2013-11-27 15:56:56 UTC

Description of problem:
Input hangs when dragging cells off-screen in Calc when in KDE environment.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Libreoffice 4.1.3.2

kde 4.11.3-1
kernel 3.11.9-200.fc19.x86_64
system fully up to date via yum

How reproducible: Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Calc when using kde
2. Select several cells
3. Drag them off-screen

Actual results:
Input hangs, cursor is still movable but no other window responds. Can recover session by either switching VT or ssh from other machine and killing calc process.

Expected results:
window would scroll to show off-screen cells.

Additional info:
Calc works as expected if drag/drop operation is confined to visible cells. Hang occurs only when dragging to cells outside visible window. This only occurs in KDE. I tried the same in Gnome Classic and got expected behavior without any issue so I suspect this is a calc-kde interaction.

Comment 1 Paul Grabbe 2014-01-06 16:53:02 UTC

With further investigation this issue seems to be directly related to the libreoffice-kde plug-in. Removing this package solves the problem.

System fully up to date via yum as of Jan-6-2014.
kde: 4.11.4-1.fc20.x86_64
kernel: 3.12.6-300.fc20.x86_64

Additional observations:

1. With libreoffice-kde installed I tried a drag&drop operation and had input freeze as before. After switching to VT2 and then back I saw a jerky completion of the drag&drop operation I had attempted earlier. Depending on how far the drag&drop was attempted it may require several switches in/out to other VT. Each time a VT switch causes some of the drag operation to complete.

2. Removed libreoffice-kde and could not get bug to occur.

3. Bug reoccurs after reinstalling libreoffice-kde

Until this bug is resolved best option is to never install libreoffice-kde package.

this should be fixed in 4.2 updates
