I think, that the main problem is, that the chart object is not at the correct place, but at the bottom, extending the page text area. The fact, that it is not drawn, is in my opinion an implication of the wrong place.

The structure of the attached file is this:
1. empty paragraph
2. empty paragraph with text box shape anchored to paragraph, wrap through, z-index 1
3. paragraph, empty besides the chart-object, which is anchored as character, z-index 2
4. empty paragraph with frame anchored to paragraph, wrap none, z-index 0
5. empty paragraph

So the order should be a chart-object with a text box shape overlay followed by a frame.

There are two problems:
* The OLE object is the only content of the paragraph. We had problems with that in OpenOffice days already, where faulty space after had been generated. I see the wrong place too, if I exchange the OLE object with a shape of same size. And if I add a character before the OLE object, it is shown at the correct place. So it might be not a problem with OLE, but with the empty paragraph.
* The frame position is wrong, even after I get the chart at the correct position by entering a character before the chart. Only if I insert an additional (empty) paragraph after the chart-paragraph, the frame goes to the correct position.

I see the problem already in LibreOffice 3.5.1.2 
Build ID: dc9775d-05ecbee-0851ad3-1586698-727bf66. So it is likely inherited from AOO, but I have no AOO to test it.

Dear Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired),

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
