See the steps in bug 83159 to reproduce the problem. I used bibisect-linux-64-7.1 which identified the bad commit as bibisect commit 822069ef15dbc825bd920acb6a30fffe9e5e2e49 commit 6a915073f8400fd34274cf311994bbc9bf498ab6 Author: Pranam Lashkari on Tue Sep 1 19:14:37 2020 +0530 On double click on chart select the chart backgroud
Created attachment 167372 [details] Call Stack VS2019 I have no problem with Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) Build ID: 72056f39e01e36afac36c62988331b6813c8214f CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL But I get a crash in Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) Build ID: 746532883f95f2c93ac2f94a578d2a37efdce7ab CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded I first thought, reason might be the empty chart. But it crashes too, after I had add data to the chart object.
In version 7.3.0.1 (and in some previous versions; I don't remember when it started), there seems to be no explicit way to insert a text box inside a chart. A workaround that I have been using is to create the textbox outside of the chart and then copy-paste it into the chart.
I can confirm with Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 548d77d0c06f7088dd3eb408797aa1fc1d7eb277 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: cs-CZ (cs_CZ.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
@zcrhonek - this is not LIMITED to Linux - resetting back to All.
Dear Justin L, 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.

I assume this is probably similar to bug 155140, but in this case the "draw the textbox" select is being treated as a double-click. I got the same bad result with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen instdir/program/soffice. (If that works, it typically works on Windows. But perhaps it is still just a Linux thing...) On a few occasions I was able to add a textbox. In those cases I didn't draw a textbox - I just clicked. But that doesn't always work either.
Steps to reproduce: 1.) open cannotAddAnotherTextbox.ods and double-click on the chart 2.) display the drawing toolbar - view -> toolbars -> Drawing 3.) select "Insert a textbox" and drag the textbox into existence. Actually, the textbox IS created, it just gets hidden immediately behind the background selection.
