Description carlos.camara 2016-10-13 18:54:20 UTC
Description:
Although previous versions of libreoffice allowed changing Data series' colours (eg: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/57700/how-to-change-diagram-colours-in-calc/), I found out that the only way to change a data series colour in a bar/sector is by changing default colours in "Options/Diagrams/Predefined colours" dialog box. Additionally, changes on Data series colours on that dialog do not take effect after applying. Instead you have to edit the diagram, make some changes and then colours will update.

I find this behaviour quite abnormal, not user friendly at all, tedious or simply overkill, as those changes will apply for all new diagrams. Should we need to change a colour


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double click on a diagram
2. Click on a data series (either bar or sector)
3. Right click and select Format Data Series
4. Click on Area tab
5. Select a different colour
6. Click Apply button

(Labels may change as I am using a localized version)

Actual Results:  
Data series' colours simply ignore any changes made in data format, even though changes are saved.

Expected Results:
Data series' colours should be updated with the right colour.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
The only way I have found to change actual colours is by visiting "Options\Diagrams\Default Colours" and change default colour palette. Changes are only applied in future diagrams or when making some type of change on existing ones, though.

Works fine here both in the dialog and sidebar.

Maybe try https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Resolving_corruption_in_the_user_profile

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
