            Bug ID: 130040
           Summary: LibreOffic Calc DropDown can hang program
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.5.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mfeldman at vigil.com

Description:

Preparation:
1) Enter a column of values
2) Select all populated cells and 
3) Data->define range, give it a name

On another sheet ("sheet two"):
1) Select a range of cells in a column
2) Data->Validity->Cell Range
3) Enter then name given previously

Testing:

1) On "sheet two", enter value by selecting from the dropdown 
        Result : ok, works as expected
2) In another cell manually enter a partial value 
        Result: "Invalid value" message box. But "OK" button does not close the
Message box, must use ESC to regain control.
3) After a value has been selected via drop down, that value may be manually
entered in a different cell and will auto-complete.
4) After 
        a) manually entering a partial value that was not previously entered,
        b) dropping down the list,
        c) again entering a partial value

        LibreOffice Calc hangs and is completely unresponsive to mouse or
keyboard.

I have only been able to recover from this by restarting the PC. (finding the
process id and "kill -9 the_pid" seems to work, but I'm nervous about side
effects or killing the wrong process.)

On restart, it is necessary to go through the document recovery, but after
recovery reference to the defined cell range is lost - drop down shows "#N/A".
It is necessary to again select and name the cells to be used for validating
and populating the drop down.
