            Bug ID: 138396
           Summary: Overlapping conditional formats offered by option but
                    not implemented
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha1+
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jim.avera at gmail.com

Description:
In Calc, if you try to apply a Conditional Format to a cell which is alredy
covered by an existing Conditional Format, a dialog pops up telling you that
you can either edit the existing cond. format or create an overlapping one, and
then asks "Do you want to edit the existing conditional format?" with No and
Yes buttons.

However clicking "No" (implying that the user want to create an overlapping
condition) just exits without allowing a new conditional format to be created.

If the intent is to not allow overlapping conditional formats, then the dialog
should be changed to say that (currently it says you have a choice).

If overlapping conditions *are* supposed to be allowed, then if the user clicks
the button corresponding to that choice (i.e. "No" to "Do you want to
edit..."), then a conditional-format-creation dialog should appear.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Loat attached "test.ods" spreadsheet
2. On sheet "Sheet2", select cell B1, then do Format->Conditional->Condition
   (dialog appears asking "Do you want to edit the existing cond. format?")
3. Click No

Actual Results:
The dialog closes and nothing else happens.

Expected Results:
Expected that a new overlapping conditional format could be created, as implied
by the question in the dialog box


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
