test case presentation with diagram

In attachment we have presentation with embedded Calc (Excel) object (Diagram)
Steps to reproduce:
0. Open attached document in Impress
1. Double click diagram
2. Click outside of Calc to return to Impress
Expected: diagram remains unchagned
Actually: size of diagram seriously changed, we can see only part of it

reproduced in 3.3.4 and 3.5.1 on Fedora 64 bit and Windows XP 32 bit
(in 3.3.4 diagram in step 0 not seen)
Problem remains if save presentation in odp format

[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 (RC2) German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 235ab8a-3802056-4a8fed3-2d66ea8-e241b80] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) 
and
[Reproducible] with parallel installation of Master "LOdev 3.6.0alpha0+  – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) ENGLISH UI [Build ID: 9980e69]" (tinderbox: Win-x86@6-fast, pull time 2012-05-10 09:36:56)

OOo 3.2 and AOOo do not show that problem, they open a readonly spreadsheet after double click on the OLE object (what IMHO is a really useless action).

I doubt that the compatibility test results have to do with that problem.


@Thorsten:
Please set Status to ASSIGNED and add yourself to "Assigned To" if you accept this Bug.
Comment 4 Olivier Hallot 2012-07-31 17:01:05 UTC
On another issue related to Calc OLE objetcts inserted into Impress, I cannot control the size of the displayed object.

On the first insert, it looks like you can set the size and the contents/viewport of the spreadsheet. But on opening the presentation a second time with data in Calc updated, the OLE object looses the viewport, and compress a whole Calc page to fit into the OLE frame in impress.

OLE is flawed in Impress and almost unusable.

Linking spreadsheets into presentations is not a minor feature.

As an example, the attached presentation shows the issue: Slide 1 is Calc data inserted by Copy & Paste, and displays correctly. Slide 2 is data inserted through Insert - Object - OLE object, From File, and displays badly, with no control possible.

Calc OLE object loose viewport in Impress

Slide 1 is the desired layout
Slide2 is what I get, after updating the spreadsheet.

Dear sasha.libreoffice,

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
