I have also seen this behavior, in recent versions, including in LO
4.1.3.2 on Windows.
How to replicate:
1_ Open Calc.
2_ While only A1 is selected, change the Font to something different
than the default.
3_ Click on the "all cells" area (above row "1", to the left of
column "A") so to select all cells of the current sheet. Note that
the Font name (in the toolbar) is now "empty", since the current
selection includes more than one Font.
4_ Select the "Font" field (in the toolbar). Try to ("almost") select
a new different font by inserting the initial character of the name
of the new desired font (and wait; do not insert new characters and
do not press [ENTER]). After about 1 second, the inserted letter
(corresponding to the name of the Font I want to set) disappears,
leaving again the Font field "empty".
When the text or selected cells all use the same Font, I probably
won't see the "flickering" in the list.
When the text or selected cells use more than one Font, the
probability to see the "flickering" is higher.
The "flickering" seems to be "easier" to see when I perform the Font
selection "slower" rather than faster (e.g. insert only the first
letter of the font name and wait; the field will be empty again after
approximately one second).
Hopefully this procedure helps to replicate the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Ady.
