Hi there.

I installed Collabora Office desktop app using Flatpak on my Arch device. I have tried formatting cells in Calc in several documents but nothing happens, both on left click and on the format button in the ribbon.

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/collaboraonline/original/2X/7/76015e5cbba30db0f86d04c62258a5bed083699c.png)

I tested formatting the same documents on my Nextcloud server with the Online docker version of it and works perfectly.

Is this a bug? Could someone else test it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @H3lkias, welcome to the Collabora Office community forum 🙂

I tested and was able to reproduce the issue as well, so you’re right — it appears to be a bug.

I’ve reported it on GitHub:  
[http://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/14884](http://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/14884)

It should be fixed soon. I’ll keep you updated on the issue once there is progress or a fix available.
