Description bryancole 2004-05-14 19:09:06 UTC 
When I try to edit the data of a chart (embedding in a text-document) using a
Basic macro, the chart update correctly, but then appears to "flicker" at a ~1Hz
rate. It looks like teh chart is being re-drawn every second. 

The flickering only stops when you double click the chart, to open it as an OLE
object, then click outside again.

I've attached a file to demonstrate this. It contains a single chart and two
buttons which call a couple of macros to set the chart data. 

Note however, there another side to this problem: sometimes, when I click the
buttons, nothing happens: the charts do not update at all.

Maybe I've missed something in the API, but this looks like a bug.

SW->BM: I couldn't reproduce the flickering Bryan talked about, but I was able
to reproduce the second thing mentioned: 
"when I click the buttons, nothing happens: the charts do not update at all"
the chartdata changes as you can see when you look at it in the UI, but the
visible representation doesn't

set target
Comment 4 bryancole 2004-05-17 11:05:34 UTC 
It's true, if you open the file directly, the button do "nothing".

To get the "flickering" behaviour, you need to edit some part of the file (e.g.
slightly resize the chart) then hit Save. After this (some some inexplicable
reason!), the buttons do indeed change the visible data in the chart,
accompanied by the flickering behaviour.

Note, I'm running OOo-1.1.1 on Linux (in case it makes a difference).

could not be reproduced for 680 builds.
I strongly propose setting this to WONTFIX, it's something not really important,
as it takes a lot of specific steps to reproduce.

Checking OOo 2.4 release candidate 2 (ooh680m8) all works fine, so I set this to
fixed now.
Comment 7 IngridvdM 2008-02-29 08:41:43 UTC 
Maybe someone can verify and close?
You can download a release candidate for OOo 2.4 here:

Comment 8 bjoern.milcke 2008-06-04 14:56:56 UTC 
Also verified in SRC680.m12 (OOo 2.4 code-line) and DEV300.m11 (OOo 3.0 code-line)
Comment 9 bjoern.milcke 2008-06-04 14:57:32 UTC 
Closing as verified in master version
