VIEWING

* What's wrong *

Disabling "Display"-"Zero values" doesn't work on a OLE-spreadsheet included in a writer document. If one double-clicks the sheet object to edit it "Display"-"Zero values" works as set in "Calc" preferences, but when going back to the document in Writer the zero show up again and do so also in printing.

The logical behaviour would be that the viewing of the OLE-obj would follow the setting in Calc -- or that you could at least set this "display zeros" somewhere for the OLE-object. Now it's totally out of user control.


* How to reproduce the bug *

Open Calc. Tools menu - Options ... - LibreOffice Calc - View - Display. Disable "Zero values".

Create a new Writer doc. Insert a OLE object Calc spreadsheet in the Writer doc. Double-click to edit the spreadsheet. Enter a zero in a column. Move to another column and the zero is not visible (according to the setting you just made in Calc). Click outside the OLE-object to go back to Writer doc editing. Now the zero becomes visible.

Thanks for helping making LibreOffice a even more wonderful tool! Don't hesitate to contact me could you not reproduce the bug on your system.

[Reproducible] with Parallel Dev-Installation of  "LibreOffice 3.5.0 Beta2- WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [Build-ID : 8589e48-760cc4d-f39cf3d-1b2857e-60db978] 
Also 'Value Highlighting' does not work for spreadsheet OLE objects in DRAW, WRITER, IMPRESS.

Old effect, also in OOo 3.1.1

I wonder whether that might be intended? At least the value highlighting is more an editing tool, I doubt that that effect will be desired for OLE objects.

Hi,

It depends on how you see it of course. But if you for example (like I) have an invoice in a Calc sheet, and you place this in a Writer doc, displaying zeros everywhere where there is a formula that equals 0 doesn't give the look you want to share with you customers.

I'm not the right person to say if it's illogical that the Calc viewing options propagates to the OLE obj in Writer -- but it's my standpoint that this is a big problem for anyone who wants to use a Calc sheet with formulas in a Writer doc.

It would be good if there were some way to choose not to display the zeros. Maybe as a setting in Writer?
