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.
