--- Comment #1 from Terrence Enger <lo_b...@iseries-guru.com> ---
In daily Linux dbgutil bibisect version 2016-04-25, I see that View >
"Freeze Cells" offers three options ...
    ( ) Freeze Rows and Columns
    ( ) Freeze First Column
    ( ) Freeze First column
Each seems to work thusly:
  - If nothing is frozen, freeze as the option says.
  - Otherwise unfreeze.

It took me a minute to see what is happening, but the behaviour seems
somehwat logical.  And the bold "freeze lines" are visible in the
background around the menu and submenu, providing feedback about what
the program is doing.

But I am unusual in preferring to work with the keyboard.  The
spacebar invokes the highlighted submenu option and leaves the submenu
open, while clicking on the submenu option closes the view menu.  If
you are just clicking, it is a nuisance to go through the menus twice
to switch freezing from First Column to First Row.

On balance, I think it would be better to add a fourth submenu option,
"Unfreeze", so that each submenu option simply makes the state as the
words describe.  This makes all the functionality available with
fewer mouse clicks or with roughly the same number of keystrokes.
More importantly, the proposed behaviour is easier to describe.

How this would impact the toolbar button contemplated by bug 91013 I
do not know.  I am adding Yousuf (Jay) Phillips to cc.
