Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 80250
automatic symbols are not saved correctly when used together with other symbolstyles or in column-line combi charts
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:20:18 UTC
Create for example a column line chart, a pure line chart, an xy chart with lines or a net chart witch lines. Switch on automatic symbols for one of the series (series properties dialog->Line->Icon->Select...->Automatic ). Save, Reload and go into edit mode -> The symbols are gone. There is no problem when the very first series is chosen, so to reproduce the bug choose the second or later series.
Another problem scenario: Create a symbol only category or xy chart. Set the symbolstyle to automatic for one of the series except the first one. Save, reload and enter edit mode ->The The symbol changes.
->target 2.4 due to limited resources
added kla to CC
changing target to 2.3
Fixed in CWS chart12
Created attachment 47449 [details] test document
Another scenario were the problem was visible: Load the attached document DefaultLinesAndSymbols.ods (a default line+symbol chart). Save. Load with OOo 2.2 and go into edit mode -> the symbols are gone.
The problem was that the new chart did have a wrong default 'AUTO for the symbol style. Thus the style auto was not written to the file. But no information in the file does mean no symbols. Furthermore a wrong default value was written to the file at the plot-area element in case when the series have had different values. Before the value of the first series was saved, now the corrected default value 'NONE' is assumed. Thus now only those values are exported that are different from the correct default.
->fst, please verify in CWS chart12.
This bug has the potential to occur in multiple scenarios. The fix does potentially influence more properties than only the symbol style. Please have a broader look around especially on saving and reloading charts where the first series has other settings than default and one of the other series have default settings. Please also have a special look at scatter charts with symbols only.
found fixed on cws chart12 using Linux, Solaris and Windows build
