Description David García 2025-08-27 08:15:26 UTC
Description:
My issue affects a specific setting, but it might extend to other settings where you have to specify a percentage.

In a chart in Calc, I can't specify a percentage with decimals to set a particular area, which means the area doesn't have the width I need.

Specifying one decimal might be enough. Two decimals would be ideal, just in case.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I click on 'Edit' on my chart.
2. I click on 'Format wall'> 'Area' > 'Image'.
3. With 'A percentage of the parent' enabled, I type a percentage with decimals.

Actual Results:
The percentage I typed '53.3%' becomes '100%'.

Expected Results:
LO should accept a value with decimals and adapt the size of the area accordingly.

In my particular case, I'm trying to cover with a coloured area a specific part of the chart corresponding to my cells in dark green (to a particular period of days). If I type '53%', the area isn't big enough. If I type '54%', the area is too big. 


Reproducible: Always
