4. Click icon <Select Data Range>
   > 'Data Range: Area' selector appears, shows data range "$Sheet1.$A$1" 
   or similar

HANG: from now on there is no possibility to do any further actions, LibO does not respond any longer for this document focus and access get lost, you still can use other opened documents, but you cannot do anything with the test spreadsheet except kill soffice.bin

Same with "LibreOffice Portable 3.3.0  - WIN7  Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4]", problem seems to be inherited from OOo

Ok. I debuged a bit into it and the problem is that the range finder dialog becomes invisble but is still there.

I still could not figure out why this dialog becomes invisble and is not deleted or is still visible.

Fail to reproduce, tested using Mac OSX 10.9 with LibreOffice Version: 4.2.5.2
Build ID: 61cb170a04bb1f12e77c884eab9192be736ec5f5
Comment 4 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-07-04 20:57:53 UTC
Confirmed its there in 3.3, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2.4, 4.2.6, 4.3.0 and master on Windows and confirmed in on 4.3.0 on Linux Mint. In 4.3 and above, you have to create a data set in order to get it to use data ranges.

Steps to reproduce in 4.3:
1) open calc
2) create a data range like
   A1: Name    B1: Age
   A2: Yousuf  B2: 34
   A3: Joren   B3: 25
3) select A1 to C2
4) click the chart button in the standard toolbar
5) click the next>> button in the chart wizard dialog to get to data range
6) click on the 'select data range' button to the right of the data range field
7) 'Data Range: Area' dialog appears
7) goto File > New > Spreadsheet
8) close the newly opened Spreadsheet
9) 'Data Range: Area' dialog is gone

You will not be able to close LibO after step 9 as the close and exit file menu items are dimmed, which also makes the 2 close buttons in the top right corner also not function. You wont be able to bring back up the 'Data Range: Area' dialog by right-clicking the chart, selecting 'Data Ranges...', and then clicking the 'select data range' button.

In the daily Linux bibisect repository version 2016-04-02, I see that the program removes the menubar from the window during the Chart Wizard and while the chart is selected.  Thus there is no way to do Step 5.

I am setting bug status RESOLVED WORKSFORME.

Thank you, Buovjaga.

We are using different distributions desktop managers.  That might be the source of the difference.  I lack the knowledge to investigate further.

Yeah, I also still repro on Windows.

The only way to be able to exit LibO again is to delete the chart, start the chart wizard again and cancel out of it.

Comment 11 Terrence Enger 2016-04-07 14:57:04 UTC
Just a note:  With commit 95b720f, fixing bug 98783 "gtk3: menubar is missing when editing object", I can now open a new spreadsheet while the Data Ranges dialog is open.  However that dialog is still visible when I close the new spreadsheet.  

This is with daily Linux dbgutil bibisict repository version 2016-04-07 running on debian-stretch.

Dear Rainer Bielefeld Retired,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
