Re: [orca-list] Libreoffice Calc is Pissing me off These Days!



OK, I upgraded to libreoffice-fresh (current version 5.0.4-3 on
Arch). I still seem to have trouble with a couple spreadsheets; this
might be a problem with the sheets which means it will be a bitch to
figure out. I might have to export the thing and re-create the
thing. I have some formulas and stuff in it so we'll have to see. I am
able to load a couple *.xls spreadsheets without problems so far.

I am curious though; if there are supposed a11y fixes, I wonder what
they actually are. I still don't get any announcements when I shift
arrows to select cells. In fact, it appears that shift arrows don't
even move the focus from the original cell. Does Calc no longer select
cells with shifted arrow keys?

Just trying to restore my faith in gnome here.:)

hi
Before taking that drastic a step, try upgrading to libreoffice-fresh. It's at version 5.3, and has lots, 
and I do mean lots, of accessibility and stability fixes. At
least try that. If that fails, it could be your spreadsheets although that's not likely.

Thanks

I've been having problems lately with Libreoffice calc locking up on
me almost every other time I try to open a spreadsheet. I am using
libreoffice-still-4.4.3 (latest from Arch repos. When the file is
opened, the program hangs and eventually, a message pops up that
soffice has stopped responding. Like, did gnome degrade to that of
Microsoft Window? Really, I may have to migrate all my spreadsheet
activities over to the Mac; at least Numbers works all the time for
me.

I don't have any other debug info available so this may be hard to
track down. In any case, is the "Unstable" versions of Libreoffice
better than this? As far as I'm concerned, I cannot any longer use
Calc for anything useful on my system.

Any ideas?
