Spreadsheet with a chart showing the problem

Version: 6.2.0.1
Build ID: 0412ee99e862f384c1106d0841a950c4cfaa9df1
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: el-GR (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

In a chart that contains an axis with a date datatype, the UI does not allow specifying a minimum or maximum value greater than 09/04/1900 (i.e., April 9, 1900).

E.g., see attached chart.ods. If I uncheck the minimum or maximum value of the X axis, the corresponding input field will show 09/04/1900, and the spinner controls will only allow decreasing that value. If I enter a later date by hand, e.g., 01/01/2019, and hit tab, that date will be changed to 09/04/1900.

This seems to be a UI only issue. If I unpack the ods file, edit the corresponding content.xml file by hand, adjust chart:minimum to an appropriate value (e.g., 43466 for 1/1/2019), and repack, the chart scale appears correct, though LibreOffice still shows 09/04/1900 in the Format Axis dialog, and still does not allow entering higher values. The same goes for charts that had been created with previous versions of LibreOffice.

The problem appears with both the gtk and the kde UI.
Comment 1 Kriton Kyrimis 2019-01-01 07:29:20 UTC
If I set the minimum value of the X axis in chart.ods to 09/04/1900, save, and unpack, I see that chart:minimum has a value of 100 in "Object 2/content.xml". Could it be that there is an incorrect range check for dates, permitting values in the 0-100 range, like percentages, instead of whatever is appropriate for dates?

Comment 5 Alois Klotz 2019-01-01 22:32:33 UTC
custom axis values (minimum, maximum...) are only possible if data value < 100
Comment 6 Laurent Balland 2019-01-02 09:03:22 UTC
Negative values are neither possible

Suspected Commit:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/chart2/uiconfig/ui/tp_Scale.ui?id=11300c48d4350c2f6748a1ca04b919cfae338d41

GtkAdjustment should be remove. However, without GTkAdjustment, values are limited between 0 and 0... It needs a deeper rework of UI.

Actual behavior limits values between 0 and 100 for minimum, maximum, major/minor interval (lower is 1) and also position of axis at value.
It impacts not only date, but whatever type of value.

Change summary.
Add regression as keyword
Enhanced severity to major as their no workaround, previous set of min/max scale may be lost.
Change product to Chart
Change Hardware to all
Comment 7 Kriton Kyrimis 2019-01-02 12:07:02 UTC
As far as I can tell, the above commit refers to the GTK+ interface. The problem, however, also exists with the KDE5 and (just checked!) the X11 interface, so there are other places that need to be patched, as well.

Since the problem is common in all three Linux VCLs, it might also exist in the VCLs for the other platforms, as well.

File with XY chart with date values on x-axis

Open attached file. Set chart into edit mode. Select x-axis and then Format Selection.
Disable the Automatic for min and max. You cannot change the values at all, neither with direct input nor with up-down arrow buttons.

The last version on my pc, where it is OK, is Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 6baca63b44bf7f75a522b1adc4b4bbce502aec3b
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-10-20_01:35:41
Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: threaded

The next versions I have got, crashes, when clicking on Format Selection.

Then version Version: 6.2.0.1 (x64)

does no longer crash, but has the buggy dialog.

The error exists too in version 6.3

I'm not sure, whether this fits exactly to the other cases. If not, tell me and I write a new report.

Comment 10 Xisco Faulí 2019-01-07 23:38:55 UTC
It can't be bisected due to the crash from bug 121246.

@Caolán, Could it be possible it was introduced by 8947c9b1d8cd407131fdfb6fc3c77c8532e9d2a0 ??
Comment 11 Libomark 2019-01-08 10:53:22 UTC
I would not consider using a 6.2 release without this being fixed.  I was hoping to move to 6.2 once it goes live in order to fix other issues and gain the added functionality.  For me it is critical.

How about 6.2.0? There should still be enough time before RC3 is released.
