Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnumeric

 The bug is that if you have a range, say A1:A10
        and you click on the range (say its in an expression of
        some sort), the cells involved should get a colored line
        around them (in this case A1:A10; so you can see where
        you're working). That (useful) functionality doesn't work
        correctly in hardy's gnumeric.

LATEST PACKAGE TESTED: this bug is present in Hardy_Heron 8.04 with Gnumeric 1.8.2.
It is not present in gnumeric 1.7.9 or gnumeric 1.8.3-3ubuntu2.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you please give more details or an example file ? I can't reproduce this. I put 1 in A1, 2 in A2, .... 10 in A10.click on B1, and enter "=A1:A10", then the A1:A10 range is surrounded by a red line. This is with gnumeric 1.7.9 in Hardy.

I confirm this bug in Hardy, with Gnumeric 1.8.2. I did not experience this in the 1.7 series when I was using Gutsy.

5% of the time I can see a red rectangle highlight when the cursor is on a "cell reference" or a "range", but 95% of the time I can't see any highlighting, making it really difficult to formulate or audit formulas.

This appears to be a bug in Hardy 8.04 only.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.

Is this bug still reproducible in Gnumeric 1.9.9 or later?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Natty Narwhal. It won't be fixed in previous versions of Ubuntu because the package doesn't fit the requirements for backporting. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports for more information.
