Description Jiří Hofman 2020-09-25 09:30:49 UTC
Description:
The graph moves its data range when the data moves in the sheet, although absolute references are used.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fill values in $A$1:$A$10
2. Create a graph upon these cells using absolute references, e.g. $A$1:$A$10
3. Insert a row above the first one.
4. Fill $A$1 cell.

Actual Results:
The graph shows values from $A$2:$A$11

Expected Results:
The graph shows values from $A$1:$A$10, e.g. it shows different values than before.


Reproducible: Always

What it's wrong? It keeps the references where the initial data is after insert a row before. It's the same if you have that reference in a cell.

I hope I explained it quite clearly.

If a user makes a graph from the first x rows and updates the data by inserting a row, the graph is not updated. He has to manually change the graph. There is no way how to fix the data range in the graph.

It is fine that the data range changes when the references are relative but changing it when the references are absolute makes no sense. Especially when the relative references behave in the same way as absolute references.

I see no bug here. Tested with Excel and Excel do the same.

A new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
