Bug ID: 153484
Summary: Spinning wheel in Calc on macOS
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.0.3.1 release
Hardware: Other
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]

Description:
I've been using LibreOffice Calc since 2006 and only for 2 spreadsheets: BUDGET
20nn and Vehicle Costs, which I typically use whenever I have a transaction to
record (i.e. which is not every day). According to my Notes journal, I first
encountered a spinning wheel on 2023-1-27 while EDITING spreadsheet BUDGET
2023, that seemed unrelated to anything I was doing at the time. It was the
first time I could recollect ever encountering a spinning wheel in Calc. So I
dismissed it as just one of those things. However, over the ensuing days, it
reoccurred, and more frequently, to the point where I would do saves every
couple changes. Curiously, I didn't encounter a spinning wheel while EDITING
spreadsheet Vehicle Costs. So, today I thought it was high time I check to see
if there was an upgrade available (that might resolve the problem). So, I
downloaded and installed 7.4.5.1. But instead of resolving the problem, it made
it worse. I would get the spinning wheel immediately upon FILEOPEN the BUDGET
2023 spreadsheet. And now I would also get the spinning wheel in the Vehicle
Costs spreadsheet, simply by alternately selecting 3 different cells after
FILEOPEN. This happened consistently each and every FILEOPEN. I tried starting
LibreOffice in Safe Mode > Reset to factory settings, which resulted in the
BUDGET 2023 coming up alright, but after alternately selecting 3 different
cells, the spinning wheel occurred. Tried starting LibreOffice in Safe Mode >
Reset to factory settings > Reset entire user profile, but with spreadsheet
Vehicle Costs. Simply alternately selecting different cells was OK for a short
while, but then the spinning wheel reoccurred.
At that point I bailed out and went to Time Machine to revert to an older
version of LibreOffice.app. Going back in time, I discovered the previous
change to 7.0.3.1 was saved on 2023-1-20. Since this was just 7 days prior to
the first occurrence of the spinning wheel I had recorded in my Journal, I went
back further in Time Machine to the next previous change to 7.0.3.1, which was
on 2022-10-22, and restored it. Lo and behold, opening BUDGET 2023 with that
version seems to have resolved the spinning wheel problem, at least for now. If
that holds, it would implicate one of the changes to 7.0.3.1 made between
2022-10-22 and 2023-1-20. Hope the symptoms I've described above will help
narrow down to identify the particular change. (btw, the symptoms I've
described above seem very similar to those in BUG 149807, but I defer to you.)
