Description Helge Falk-Kammeyer 2024-04-25 14:46:25 UTC
Description:
In 'link to' cell I insert =. When clicking on 'link from' sheet, I observe a small shiver on the screen, but nothing happens. When clicking again, 'link from' sheet opens, but clicking on 'link from' cell does not produce a link.

Have tried with Ctrl+PageUp with same result.The critical thing is inserting the = in 'link to' cell.
Have tried writing the cell-reference, that works, but with 300 links to do...!!!
Deleted version 24.2.2.2 and installed 7.6.6 with same result.  Also with 7.6.4
In the beginning, the problem did not accur when I closed the application and reopened it again. But now it happens every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.insert = i 'link to' cell
2.click on 'link from' sheet
3.

Actual Results:
Then the problem comes: a 'shiver' on the screen, but I stay on the 'link to' sheet. When I click a second time, the 'link from' sheet opens, but an 'enter' on the 'link from' cell does not produce any link.

Expected Results:
It should have opened the 'link from' sheet


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
It is not possible to copy anything from that page. The normal copy function does not work.
Version: 24.2.2.2
