Created attachment 206443 [details] forum-mso-en-14364.docx: example document (complex - groupshaped chart not visible now) Starting with LO 24.8.4, the chart in this document is no longer visible (until ungroupped from the visible textbox). While technically this is a 24.8.4 regression from commit acf704eca7e14a2faea1d3b6e66718db07f8b041 Author: Mike Kaganski on Tue Nov 26 10:40:10 2024 +0100 tdf#146269: don't set modified when connecting frame, model and controller Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/177300 it seems to have just exposed some weakness elsewhere. Given the fact that this is the only document noticed so far that was negatively affected by that commit (and no other reports found bisected to this commit) I'm not marking this as a blame. However, a revert of the commit still 'fixes' the problem. Steps to reproduce: 1.) open forum-mso-en-14364.docx in LO There should be a graph visible in the bottom half of the page.

From what I can see during debugging, a lot of things get "notified" when something is set as modified. So there must be some kind of registration not happening when this notification is blocked. For the low importance of the bug this patch was fixing, perhaps simply reverting it might be the safest thing. It doesn't sound like a convincing change to keep.
