Dear Maintainer,

This happens on KDE+Wayland, and I suspect that this might be a Wayland-related
problem.

Sometimes, when you choose some cells in Libreoffice Calc, then right click and
choose "Insert..." or "Delete...", the popup that asks for insert/delete
options (e.g. "shift cells up") does not appear, and this causes Calc to stop
reacting to any user input.

If you use Alt+Tab to cycle through open applications, you can see the "Insert
(or Delete) cells" prompt there but you cannot select it. The only option to
recover seems to be killing Libreoffice from console or via a process manager.

Additional information: "Selecting" the invisible prompt using Alt+Tab, then
using Alt+F4 seems to close it and Calc becomes responsive again.
