Description Buovjaga 2020-06-21 12:39:25 UTC
1. Open Calc, input some numbers
2. Create a chart, Point and lines
3. In edit mode, select the line
4. Change line colour from the Sidebar Properties tab

No effect even after exiting edit mode. Re-entering edit mode we see the colour we selected in the Sidebar, but still not in the chart.

This appears to always have behaved like this. Tested both on Win and Linux.

Reproduced in

Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 00be56d9db396d284f66ab723d6fbb898b888dfb

@Muhammet, I thought you might be interested in this issue

A very weird behavior. I can change line color for both the point and graph lines, and the border line of the chart. But I do it in the "Area" panel in the sidebar. The Line panel seems to be doing nothing. And if you click the gear icon (top right corner) of the Line panel, it opens the same dialog as the Area panel.

I think this bug report needs re-evaluation.

How should I re-evaluate it?

Same in recent master build:

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: bbf6fa94a92abc1085addaba20519ee0166bae5e
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

As Muhammet said, I have to change the colour in Area for it to change. One would expect to change it in the Line section for a line graph. Double-clicking the line opens the Line tab in the Data Series dialog. And one can change the line style in the sidebar, as expected.
