Description Baland Rabayah 2021-02-01 13:33:21 UTC
Description:
Hello all,

hope you are all well,

I would like to report a bug on LibreOffice which I've ran into. Unfortunately, pasting a graph from Calc to Writer for some reason does not actually post the data itself, and that the graph is effectively blank. I've tried this both on LibreOffice 6.4 and 7.0.4.2 Below is the information about my system, and a screen recording of what I mean attached. I have also activated safe mode to make sure it is not a user profile issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have data readily available to make a graph
2.create a graph, which in this particular case, the graph does not detect the columns header properly
3.Once configuring the graph to detect the headers, then create the graph as usual
4.Pasting into LibreOffice Writer (both 6.4.7 and 7.04) results in the graph being blank without data (as demonstrated on the video)

Actual Results:
the data is not transferred towards Writer

Expected Results:
Data is transferred towards writer properly


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
The data originated from an XLS file, which was then saved as an ODS

Comment 2: It appears the bug happens sometimes and not every single paste (this time it semi-pasted successfully)

Hi Baland,

I was able to replicate problem:
4.Pasting into LibreOffice Writer (both 6.4.7 and 7.04) results in the graph being blank without data (as demonstrated on the video)

in:
Version: 6.4.0.3
Build ID: b0a288ab3d2d4774cb44b62f04d5d28733ac6df8
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded


But I was not able to replicate problem:
2.create a graph, which in this particular case, the graph does not detect the columns header properly

Can you please attach the document you were working on? I attached my example document.

Let's set to NEW per the last comment and Baland can create another report for the header issue.

Dear Baland Rabayah,

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.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
