Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 69997
Calc crashes when formatting Charts - reopens and chart has vanished
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:22:10 UTC
While changing pie chart colors, Open Office crashes. In a multisheet Calc spreadsheet, I created charts on separate sheets, transferring columns of information from one sheet to another. I highlighted columns in Sheet 3_2 then clicked copy in toolbox, pasted from toolbox into other sheets to create pie charts. Then highlighted the two columns A and B, then clicked on the menu bar insert => chart, went through creating chart, altered size of chart, then clicked on wedge of pie chart to change color. At this point, Open Office would crash. Sometimes it would crash after having changed the colors. I had saved the spreadsheets as .xls files. After crashing, Open Office would reopen and 'recover' the files. The information in spreadsheets would be normal, but charts would vanish (only display the title and a blank chart background) or display generic bar graph. Please help, this is quite frustrating.
