OpenOffice Spreadsheet charts

Neil Waldhauer:
Starting with version 4.1.8, charts seem to vanish in the following scenario.

1. Edit the chart
2. Save the spreadsheet in .ODS format
3. Close Open Office
4. Open the spreadsheet; the chart is gone

A potential workaround is to save in .XLS format instead

I opened a bug report as described in the readme. Thanks to all who helped me get an account to report this.

I see that too. I did some research, and found that the OS/2 version fails to save the chart. If I do exactly the same thing in windows AOO 4.1.8, it does what it is supposed to do. I can then open the sheet in OS/2, and the chart is there. If I then close, with save, and open it again, it is gone. Actually that isn't quite right, because there is a small blank spot where the chart should be. The chart is gone in windows too.

I haven't had the time to try to report this. I do remember reporting something a couple of years ago, and it took hours to work through the reporting procedure. FWIW, there is a report that describes the problem. It was dismissed as being an invalid chart setup (obviously wrong, but I haven't looked recently so there may be more).

Never thought about saving as .XLS. I will try that. At least it is a work around. Thanks...

Ian Manners:
Have not used the spreadsheets since upgrading AOO to v4.1.8, just opened up my spam stats, no changes made to the charts or the chart data but I did add a note to a separate column, saved the spreadsheet, exited, then opened that spreadsheet again and the charts are gone, just a blank space on each page.
So.. the problem is easy to verify.

Glad everything is backed up!

Hi Neil,

Although this is for macOS it sounds similar.
Fortunately it could be solved with a rebuild on macOS, so maybe Yuri can do some tests with the (soon to be released on Windows, macOS, Linux) version 4.1.9 of Apache OpenOffice.
