Description Regina Henschel 2025-01-05 21:51:31 UTC
The current state of the new chart type "Histogram" is unusable. For related bugs see bug 162134.
The main problems are:
* Load/Save with ODF does not work.
* Import/Export with Excel does not work.
* Copy&Paste does not work.
* Generating a "Histogram" chart via macro does not work.

Ideally, the feature should be totally removed for LO 25.2., but as we are already at RC 1, immediately before code freeze, from a user point of view it might be sufficient to hide the "Histogram" chart type in the UI.

The new feature should not be hidden in "Experimental features" for LO 25.8, because then users of the daily build will not be aware that such feature is in processing and we will not get bug reports.
 	
Devansh Varshney is actively working on the problems, see discussions on the dev-list. But as code freeze is this week, it will surely not be finished for LO 25.2.
