GUI: gnumeric dialog action blocks mouse click in other programs
Normally one can use the mouse and work in other
programs while gnumeric is busy with some activity,
in some actions the keyboard works, while mouse is
blocked.
Simple example:
- create a cell with value 1 and background light yellow,
- copy that cell to a large range, e.g. B3:AY65536,
( this takes long time, but that's another issue )
in this time you can click other windows and work there, - remove background formatting from one column, e.g. AX,
click 'Background' in toolbar and then 'Clear Background',
( again takes long time, but that's another issue )
in this time the mouse cursor moves with my touchpad,
but no effect when I click somewhere,
re-gains normal work when gnumeric action is finished.
Think to remember that it was better some time ago,
but not sure about.
