Description Matthias Basler 2005-03-09 22:58:00 UTC 
If a chart is created from a selection that encompasses some selected columns
plus   one or more selected lines it interpretes this selection in a completly
unpredictable way (from my point of view). See the attached spreadsheet.

Such a selection is admittedly improbably, yet the result should be as one would
predict it, that is, for a "data in columns" diagram:
To have 8 diagram lines in the legend: Columns A,B, D,E,F,G,H, the latter 5
having just one data point.

This happens with OOo1.1.4 as well as with OOo2.0beta+WinXP (and probably other OS.)

@kla
In my opinion this is not a duplicate of issue 3997. Issue 3997 is an
"improvement" concerning with selecting multiple ranges of x values for XY charts. 
That is a needed enhancement indeed, but has not much to do with this issue for
two reasons.

- This issue is imho a bug, since the chart interprets a not too ambigous
selection of cells in a completely arbirary and (for me) not comprehensible way.
- This issue is not talking about XY charts.

But I'll respect You choice.
