Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 22995
A misplaced "-" character skews values in Chart Data
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:21:58 UTC
In the Chart Data table, when I enter a "-" followed by a number and apply it to the chart, OO treats it correctly. However, when I enter a number followed by a "-" followed by a number, OO instead applies a completely different, arbitrary value to the chart in its place and changes the data field in the table to that value. To reproduce this: 1.) Select the "Insert Chart" option, either from the toolbar or the "Insert" pull-down menu. 2.) Right-click the chart and select the "Chart Data" option. 3.) In the data field of Row 1, Column 1, type exactly the characters within the quotations "9 - 8". 4.) Click the "Apply to Chart" button and observe the chart. When I did this, I got the value 37872. I also reproduced this in Windows 98.
