Spreadsheet with issue

I have attached a ods file that causes the issue. Upon trying to interact with the chart, the chart will disappear.

The file was created in LibreOffice 3.4.3 on Windows Server 2008 R2, and opened in LibreOffice 3.4.4 on Windows Server 2008 R2.

I have tried opening the same file on 3.4.4 on Arch Linux, and I have found, instead of blanking the chart, the chart becomes massive.

I have come to the conclusion that it is to do with the LibreOffice settings in some way as vanilla LibreOffice 3.4.3 does not cause the problematic spreadsheet. 

It seems that a similar bug has been mentioned within the comments of this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41394.

My apologies if this bug has been submitted in the past. If you require any more info, I will provide as much as I can. However I am no LibreOffice expert.

I see the effect with "LibreOffice 3.4.4  - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [Build ID: OOO340m1 (Build:402)]". Might be a damaged document? Data range contains word "all" instead of a data range.

@Thomas:
Please contribute a step by step instruction how to create such a chart from the data in your sample document.

@Rainer Bielefeld, Thanks for the comment.

I have uploaded a video to youtube that details how I created the spreadsheet:

There's nothing special in how the spreadsheet was created. However, the LibreOffice 3.4.3 was using the main.xcd that I have attached. I am not sure of exactly how the main.xcd was borked.

WORKSFORME on OS X and Ubuntu.

Is this bug still valid / reproducible with the latest LO release from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ ?

Comment 6 Thomas 2014-05-18 23:28:05 UTC

This issue was caused when upgrading from 3.4.3 to 3.4.4. I have upgraded several times since then and not experienced this issue.

As mentioned in an earlier comment by me, there is a video of this issue here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMtoKd5zJEc

As this bug was first opened in December 2011, and I haven't really seen it in any upgrade since 3.4.3 to 3.4.4, I am happy enough with just closing this bug.

Not clear as to what I should set this to, I hope RESOLVED/INVALID is appropriate.
