Description Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2024-05-16 00:55:28 UTC
With the bar-of-pie and pie-of-pie chart types added for bug 50934 in LO 24.8, there are now 6 types of Pie charts. The Chart sidebar deck only accommodates 4 chart type previews, so either:
- the new ones are not shown if the current type is one of the 4 original types
- only the new ones are shown if the current types is one of the 2 new types

Steps:
1. Open Calc
2. Expand Sidebar
3. Insert new chart
4. In Wizard, choose a pie chart type
5. Look at Chart sidebar deck, Chart Type section

I'm thinking it might be better to separate the of-pie chart types into a separate category in the UI. That would bring us back to four columns in the chart type selector, which I think would resolve this bug. It also would allow for different options for of-pie charts, specifically number of entries to be included in the right sub-chart (bug 161090).
