Summary: Calc: Select-Copy "Marching Ants" animation issue
across frozen sections
Severity: minor
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.0.4 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
Created attachment 84009
--> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=84009&action=edit
series of documented screenshots in a pdf
Pressing <escape> does not clear all areas of the select-copy "marching ants"
animation if the copy area was across borders of frozen rows or columns.
Steps to recreate:
* Create a spreadsheet
* Freeze some rows and columns (Window->Freeze)
* Block select several cells across on or both sides of a frozen border line
* Copy (^C or Edit->Copy) the area
* Notice the extremely annoying "marching ants" animation starts (which is
distracting and wastes CPU, battery, and possibly network resources).
* Click elsewhere to see just the animation.
* Now try to stop the annoying animation using the <escape> key.
* Notice it will only stop the animation for the "frozen" area in which the
cell location currently resides. The animation will continue in the areas on
the other side(s) of the frozen borderline.
* The only way to get rid of all the animation is to either click in every
section and press <escape> in each, or certain other unintuitive actions.
It wouldn't be such an annoyance if the user had the ability to turn off this
animation or if it at least timed out after X seconds. ( See Bug 35077 )
Since this is a difficult concept to illustrate with just text, I am attaching
a PDF with a sequence of documented screenshots to clearly illustrate the
behavior.
