Created attachment 161078 [details] Example file from Excel with leader lines Since bug #90749 was fixed, it is possible to use leader lines with chart labels: we can import them from OOXML (without all the fancy line formatting...), draw them on the chart and save their presence to ODF. The Data Labels dialog however lacks a checkbox to turn them on/off. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open attached files to see a simple line chart with leader lines 2. Open the Data Labels dialog Actual results: No Show Leader Lines checkbox. Expected results: Show Leader Lines checkbox present to turn leader lines on/off.
