Description Tyler 2021-05-01 00:20:14 UTC
Description:
I was directed to this site to report documents not displaying correctly, if this is not the right place please let me know so I can report it properly.  I have a Microsoft excel spreadsheet that doesn't display properly in Libre Office. The second page of the spreadsheet is suppose to display a plot with confidence intervals, however it is slightly messed up in Libre Office. The problem is purely with how libre office is displaying the dot in the center of each confidence interval. Libre office has a line instead of a dot, and the line is even  in the wrong place. 

I don't want to reupload this users spreadsheet without permission, so I am linking to their site. 

http://kurtosis.co.uk/technique/confidence/confidence.htm

The spreadhseet they have linked on the site " Confidence Interval Data.xls" is the one in question. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://kurtosis.co.uk/technique/confidence/confidence.ht
2. Download "Confidence Interval Data.xls"
3. Open the file using Libre office
4. Go to the second page

Actual Results:
Libre office displays a mostly correct graphic with the, but with the dot in the wrong place, and it showing up as a line.

Expected Results:
I expect Libre office to (preferably) show exactly what I see in excel, or at least something comparable. I can deal with the graph showing a dot instead of a line, but it needs to at least be in the right place.


Reproducible: Always

After all this time, even after the link went dead, by some miracle I still have the file this bug happened on. I just updated to 7.5.2.2 and it still happens.

Dear Tyler,

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
