Description jon bondy 2023-01-24 13:44:00 UTC
Description:
I created a Calc chart with both a Y axis and an alternate Y axis.  The chart looks fine.  When I save and re-open the document, the labels for both Y axes overlap each other on the left axis, and the right axis is blank.  I cannot fix this problem; I have to re-create the chart from scratch each time I open the document.

FILEOPEN

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create the chart with a left and right Y axis
2. save the file
3. open the file and note the two axes are merged on the left

note that, by definition, I can only provide a defective file, not the original correct file

Actual Results:
the chart was wrong

Expected Results:
the two axes should be correct and distinct


Reproducible: Always

Thank you for your report.

I can see the two axes overlapped on the left in the following version:

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 69c6f7bccec838b7288a25a29a83b7f782ba7586
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

MS Office doesn't show the tax rate axis at all. I tested using:

Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2212 Build 16.0.15928.20196) 64-bit 

- Is the original file created in LibreOffice?
- Can you please provide an ODS file in which the chart looks good, so we can test saving as XLS?

As a general note, if you are creating a new document, I would strongly recommend using ODS, or XLSX if you have to. XLS is an old binary format that we support for compatibility reasons, but saving as ODS is safer.

Thank you!

Thank you for the example document.

Saving from XLSX to ODS or from XLSX to XLS, no problem: the two axes stay on their correct sides. However, saving from ODS to XLS, the two axes are merged on the left.

I'm also attaching an ODS file for easier testing.

Steps:
1. Open this ODS attachment
2. Save as XLS

Result:
Secondary Y axis is overlapped with primary Y axis on the left of the chart.

Save as XLSX keeps works, and saving that XLSX as XLS also works.
It's only the ODS to XLS that fails.

Implicit step 3 is "File > Reload".
