Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 80186
Modifying and deleting styles disabled
Last modified: 2007-07-30 19:56:00 UTC
If any sheet in a spreadsheet is protected, no styles can be modified or deleted (although new styles can be created). Note that the options to modify or delete a style are not disabled--they just do nothing when selected. As far as I can tell, this behavior is not documented at all. At a minimum, an error dialog should be displayed indicating that one or more sheets are protected thereby blocking modifications and deletions. Tool tips could also be used to provide the same info This has been an issue for me for over a year--just not critical enough that I took the time to research it online. (I suspect most users never get around to researching issues online.) I could not find this documented in any bugs, but did find it reported twice in the past month in the forums (http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=59322 and http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=60267).
