Description: Symptom 1: When chart data in Calc is copied over with new data, the chart only updates its display if the chart is moved. Symptom 2: When a chart is copied with its sheet/data from another Calc file into a new Calc file and the data range is then linked to new data, the chart displays the new assigned data while in edit mode, but when you leave the chart, the former data is displayed again. If the chart is then moved, the new data is correctly displayed. Symptom 3: Even worse: When the chart is not moved as described above but the file is saved and reopened (hoping it would update the chart, to avoid moving multiple dozens of charts), the chart correctly shows the new data. But when the chart is copied e.g. to Impress, it there displays the former data. Version: 5.0.6.3 Build ID: 00m0(Build:3) Reproduce: No way to reproduce in a simple way: I have several files with about 20 sheets containing 50-100 horizontal bar charts, stacked and unstacked. I copy into those files data from other Calc files. I observe the problem for a couple of years now. As my files contain real world data I cannot publish them here, but I could send it privately if a developer is interested to have a look at this. This behaviour is severely bad, since it includes the possibility to show wrong data in customer projects.
5.0.6.3 is really old, please try a current version, 5.4.2 or 5.3.6.
Thank you for your response. I now have Version 5.4.5.1 and I still have this issue. The behaviour changed in this version: I open File 1 with charts + data, I open File 2 with only data, then I copy data from file 2 to file 1 and the charts are updated immediately. BUT, when I then copy the chart to impress, the old data is displayed in impress. Workaround is closing file 1 after copying the new data into it from file 2 and reopen. Then everything seems to be o.k. I hope this information helps to assign the bug.
Okay, I updated the title. I can't reproduce it in Windows 7 with LO 5.4.5.1, either it's a Linux-specific bug, or the reproduction steps are ambiguous. Could you attach sample files with chart / data and describe specific steps?
