[Bug 53920] EDITING: Data Validity Cell Range not being applied to multiple selected cells

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53920

--- Comment #12 from Laurent BP <jumbo4444@yahoo.fr> ---
Hi,

The bug seems to come from the fact that visible tab is not the initial tab.
Some easy workarounds:
- don't use the picker:
   - either use a named reference (as mentioned previously)
   - or type the reference
- after using the picker, click on tab where the cells to be validated are
- apply twice Data > Validity: second time the dialog is pre-filled, you just
need to click on OK

It is quite strange because after executing dialog, tab is forced to go back to
initial one. See
http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/source/ui/view/cellsh2.cxx#849
849  short nResult = pDlg->Execute();
850  //When picking Cell Range, other Tab may be switched. Need restore the
correct tab
851  pTabViewShell->SetTabNo( nTab );

nTab value is correct. Why it is not enough? What else can be done?
