Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 4.0.0.3: Calc Crashes when setting data validity

Hi :)
If it's not Java and does only happen in Calc then i really don't know but it is likely that 
someone else on the list can help.  

Please try to use "Reply to all" or "Group reply" to keep the thread on-list rather than taking the 
thread off-list.  That way other people can get involved if they spot something or can add to the 
answers.
Regards from 

Tom :)

 needs pushing back in firmly or perhaps a cooling issue.  I had to hoover the inside of my case 
fairly recently to get rid of the dust that was blocking the airflow from the fans.  Take great

to fry pretty much every chip on the mbord!
