Description Gareth Bult 2006-07-14 17:00:18 UTC 
Does not work on 1.6.x or 1.7.x of the Windows version. None of the ALT combinations work, or anything else I can find.

Incidentally, print-preview also crashes the Windows version on all the spreadsheets I've tried across three Windows boxes.

What, precisely, happens if you type "abc" + Alt-Enter + "def" + Enter?

(That works for me.)
Comment 2 Mikael Lehikoinen 2006-08-24 09:27:47 UTC 
Alt-Enter doesn't work for me. If I press Alt-Enter when I'm entering text nothing happens. I have tested 1.6.2 and 1.6.3 build 2 on Windows XP Professional.

Yesterday I installed Gimp 2.2.13 and gtk+ 2.8.18 on my computer. During installation of gtk+ the setup program found Gnumeric's own installation of gtk+ and suggested that I should install gtk+ on top of it. I didn't find a way to change the installation path so I decided to continue and see what happened. Now alt+enter works for me in Gnumeric as expected. There are some minor rendering artifacts for some fonts but so far everything works ok.

Great.  Closing.

I don't think that this bug should be closed until Gnumeric ships with an GTK+ that works. The bug is still there on a "normal" Gnumerics installation i.e without installing the latest GTK+ on top of Gnumerics. My previous comment was just information to ease your bugfixing. To me it looks like the version of GTK+ that Gnumeric provides is buggy and you probably should include a newer version.
Comment 6 Morten Welinder 2006-09-11 13:13:01 UTC 
Ivan, do you have an opinion here?

(Our normal policy is to close when we believe the problem is resolved
in the code base, as opposed to when we actually ship a new version.)

This is actually a bug of Gtk+/Win32 that has been fixed sometimes ago. The next release will include a recent version of Gtk+/Win32.
