Spreadsheet where you can reproduce the trouble

Downstream reference (contain a fix)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727504

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to edit an existing column chart by double click on it
2. The chart is destroyed (loosing it's data ranges sources)
3. right click give only Table data chart in place of data ranges
Actual Results:  
The document contain corrupted charts which are no more valid.
The document can't be used anymore, and important definitions are loose.

Only a previous backup of the document restore the situation.

Expected Results:  
Work as it should

Trying to edit a new column chart reveal a strange behavior during the ranges
cells selection ( blanked or loosed ) if data-series tab is selected.

My dumb question, why if this is found, and a fix exist, it not backported and fixed, when its a regression

Now customers, are going to buy 30 Ms-office Licence, is this what we want for ?
