I've tried it with LXDE -

No problem with Format Cells . The dialog presents itself correctly.

I've tried it on a fresh install of Slackware 14.1 with KDE 4.11.4 -

Same problem with the Format Cells dialog
The File Save dialog is a lot speedier.

so is it the KDE theme integration that's causing it?

The slackbuild.org LibreOffice works for me whereas AlienBob's doesn't.

I can confirm the SlackBuild script does not exhibit the transparent format dialog on a large spreadsheet.

1. Downloaded Slackbuild.org script for 4.1.3 for 14.1.
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14...e/libreoffice/
2. Changed line inside libreoffice.SlackBuild script to VERSION=${VERSION:-"4.1.4"}
3. Downloaded LibreOffice_4.1.4_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz
4. sudo ./libreoffice.SlackBuild script.
5. Used pkgtool to remove libreoffice-4.1.4-x86_64-1alien.txz
6. sudo installpkg libreoffice-4.1.4-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

Got a bunch of warnings about zero length htm files in
/tmp/SBo/package-libreoffice/opt/libreoffice4.1/share/extensions/nlpsolver/help
but they were indeed 0 length in LibreOffice_4.1.4_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz

put =rand()*10000 in cells out to HS:1200 - No dialog issue.

I did notice on the alien package that I would have to manually copy in the =rand()*10000 in cells for it to mess up. If I saved the spreadsheet then reloaded it, the dialog boxes didn't have an issue. Probably irrelevant since it seems to work in non-kde desktops.

I've compared the parameters used to compile the download from LibreOffice with those used by AlienBob.

LibreOffice uses -

--disable-kde4
--enable-kde


AlienBob uses -

--enable-kde4
--disable-kde

The exact opposite. I've subsequently asked this of the LibreOffice Developers and got this response -

Sure - this is because the rather old system we compile the generic
linux builds on (which needs to be that old so we can run on all newer
systems) can't feasibly have KDE4 installed. I tried to make a magic
assembler tool to stub the libraries to overcome that without success -
it's a bit of a pain.

Sure - and also --enable-gnome-vfs as well as --disable-gio is a
similar disaster caused by the same issue.

It's all to do with what we can get to install on a reasonably vanilla
CentOS 5 (IIRC).

HTH,

Michael.

Can you try what happens if you rename/move/delete the following two files (on 32-bit Slackware the lib directory will be "lib" not "lib64"):
Code:
/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/libkde4be1lo.so
/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_kde4lo.so
These two libraries are all that comprises the KDE4 integration.
If your issues are solved with these out of the way, then I can split them off into a separate libreoffice-kde4 package.

I'm 32bit. I did this -

Code:
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program$ mv libkde4be1lo.so libkde4be1lo.so.aik
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program$ mv libvclplug_kde4lo.so libvclplug_kde4lo.so.aik
My very quick test shows that the transparent "Format Cells" dialog and the slow "Save" dialog issues have been resolved.

With the removal of those two files Libreoffice appears to have adopted the gtk "Save" dialog.

I suppose this does solve my problem because then it uses GTK dialogs. I can't reproduce my original issue at all (of course, there's no up button or anything like that).

It seems like we've narrowed down the problem. Something in 4.1.x's KDE integration is broken, or there's a bug with Slackware's default KDE that is triggering the problem.

All that does is allow you to compile Java code. It doesn't provide Java itself.

I'm not convinced. In the options it says it finds FSF Java 1.5.0 at '/usr/lib64/jvm/jre'. Going to that directory and using ls:

Code:
bash-4.2$ ls -l /usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Dec  6 00:09 java -> ../../../../bin/gij
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Dec  6 00:09 keytool -> ../../../../bin/gkeytool
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Dec  6 00:09 orbd -> ../../../../bin/gorbd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Dec  6 00:09 rmid -> ../../../../bin/grmid
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Dec  6 00:09 rmiregistry -> ../../../../bin/grmiregistry
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Dec  6 00:09 tnameserv -> ../../../../bin/gtnameserv
bash-4.2$ grep 'usr/bin/gij' /var/log/packages/*
/var/log/packages/gcc-java-4.8.2-x86_64-1:usr/bin/gij
So, yes it definitely provides java. I also know this because I opened a bug report on it and I got what I said as the answer. I just can't seem to find it anymore because they reorganized the site. I'll look again and post it if I find it.

I've raised a bug report, with libreoffice, for the transparent "Format Cells" dialog.

The good news is that Libreoffice 4.2.3.3 seems to be dramatically better with the file manager in KDE (and, yes, I installed AlienBob's libreoffice-kde package). The file manager is still slightly laggy after using it literally all day today, but it is very minor. I feel I can now comfortably use 4.2.3.3 with the KDE integration.

I've tried AlienBob's Libreoffice 4.2.3.3 packages. I've found that libreoffice to be slow starting up. With the libreoffice-kde package calc won't start.

I think I'll wait a few more weeks. Having read 77128 in bugzilla I can't work out where they've been rolled out to.
