I'm not an engineer, but I think the root issues are that: 1. whatever internal header or xml data or whatever the UI looks at to know what the font and font attributes gets set to some form that makes the UI display false information 2. however the code is written for the formatting commands, it fails to see that the format is wrong and fails to clear it and rewrite it properly Based on a comment from someone who is an engineer I tried to view the XML but was unable to do so. If I could see that, I could try each command and see how the UI writes the internal XML (I only say XML because that term was used in the comment). If I could see what happens to that when the bug occurs I might be able to come up with steps to cause the problem without having to use data from the imported Excel file. But to repeat, being able to smoothly handle Excel files has got to be right at the top of the list of things this program needs to do, right? I looked up XML and found this: TAHOMA FONT I'm guessing that Calc is storing something like that for each character, right? And I'm guessing that one part of the UI writes this with bad syntax and the other part of the program doesn't know how to read it so it does nothing or shows the user the wrong info. What I'm saying is that all this bugs are really happening - over and over - and they're not "trivial" - they're crippling.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
