** Description changed: - While using Gnumeric, I experienced the following: If you add a data - filter to a column (Data -> Filter), and then click on the little arrow - in the top cell to display all the values you can filter for, all other - areas of the screen become unresponsive to any mouse clicks, the - computer becomes unresponsive to keyboard shortcuts and even the On/Off - button causes no response! All you can do is to click somewhere in the - list to apply the filter or press Esc on the keyboard to leave the mask. - I believe that this is a major flaw in the operating system, as any - program causing such a state and then crashing can cause complete loss - of control over the OS, as described e.g. for LibreOffice at - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40141. - - In my opinion, no program shouls be able to block control about other - visible windows, the keyboard and especially not the On/Off button. - - - This could be a bug in the design, so I don't know what package it refers to.
