            Bug ID: 117979
           Summary: Cell highlighting does not work sporadically
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.7.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Description:
1. Work on a spreadsheet for some time, create multiple additional sub-sheets
2. Double click formulas referring to some sub-sheets and go to the source
3. Cell highlighting does not work, need to manually look for row/column to
find the source

This has happened to me every since I've been using LO from 5.3.7 onwards
(including all version in between). I've tried multiple distributions, OpenSuse
Leap 42.3, 15, Tumbleweed and Fedora 27 which their official build of LO and
all show the same error in my .ods file.

I have around 10 sheets within my spreadsheet. In most cases cell higlighting
works fine, but there are 2-3 sheets where it doesn't work at all. So whenever
I try to refer to that sub-sheet, cells won't be highlighted.
I assume it has something to do with copy-pasting formulas to a new sheet or
the way the sheet is created. Maybe a broken sub-sheet?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Work on a spreadsheet for some time, create multiple additional sub-sheets
2. Double click formulas referring to some sub-sheets and go to the source
3. Cell highlighting does not work, need to manually look for row/column to
find the source

Seems only to happen after working with a sheet for some time as it grows.

Actual Results:  
The cell does not get highlighted (with a colored frame)

Expected Results:
Cell highlight works in every sub-sheet.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
OpenGL is disabled. Cannot enable OpenGL anyway because it introduces even
worse bugs/weird behavior in LO's UI.

This bug has been reported many time, e.g.
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99705 and seems date back
quite some time.

I must say it's still there and it's very annoying.
