Description szz 2017-08-24 19:39:06 UTC
Novadays I've noticed that a diagram's picture different in Calc screen as copy the pasted picture in writer. (not fuzzy or empty, it seems correct diagram but values were invalid on it.)

My ods has 20 diagrams. Data of them are calculated by many functions on many sheets. I used to copy diagrams to writer odt document.

When I noticed this thing I have made png-s by saving as html and I found 2 pngs from 20 which weere not the same as picure shown in calc for the same type diagram.

Those pngs were the correct diagrams of a previous version of the current ods file. (this ods is reused annually with different data set)

It means for me that diagrams (can) have saved pictures (image cache?) inside the ods and for some reason in my ods those old images were not replaced when the diagram was redrawn de to source data change.

Finally I found CTRL-SHIFT-F9 which recalculates and redraw diagrams and replaces the stored images as well .... If I don't forget  it!!!!

I guess it would be a very useful and desirable change in LO to delete cached version of digarams as a 1st step when a diagram is redrawn on screen due to data change. It would be much better than pasting an incorrect diagram which sometimes almost invisible until somebody asks sg like this on a meeting: How the hell can be this number 2 today when you've promised it will be 4.5 at least till the end of this year!!! 

The only thing I remember when I have copied diagrams that I was faster than LO could refresh everything. Maybe I have saved earlier the ods than previous diagram chache refresh process finished on all diagrams (?)
After CTRL-SHIFT-F9 all diagrams were correctly copied to writer. But an error message wuld be much better than a different picture in target document.
