Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 83270
new chart wizard: cannot select data range
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:19:48 UTC
Note that I use Kubuntu Gutsy, not Ubuntu. I am working in a spreadsheet imported from an excel spreadsheet. I Select Insert -> Chart... [Chart Wizard starts.] According to the manual I should do this: "In Calc, click Select data range to minimize the dialog, then drag to select the data range. Click Select data range again to enter the data range. " But after the dialog minimizes I cannot select anything in the main Calc Window (although it gains focus and the Wizard window looses focus). If I try to interact with the main window using the mouse the PC speaker beeps and nothing happens. So this functionality completely does not work for me. Guess from my side: It looks like the main window cannot get focus or something - perhaps an interaction with the KDE windows manager kwin? I will check if the same issue occurs on Windows XP, but I have an inkling that it will work perfectly there...
Yep, it works with Windows XP. Developers please please test also on other environments than Windows, (and Mac) even though they are not so popular... Each time I try to use Openoffice on KDE Linux I find myself writing bug reports instead of being productive.
wrong component and most probably a double. Changed component and re-assigned
Please specify the bug report of which you indicate that this could be a double. I could not find anything similar in all the 245 spreadsheet bug reports. Note this is not a double for 71812, because I explicitly pressed the "select range" button in the wizard to select a range (as reported in my original report).
It works in OOo-Dev (m233, OOGm7 and m235). Tested under Kubuntu 6.06
