Description perkins 2012-05-15 22:20:55 UTC
I put two columns of data in an xy scatter plot by selecting the cells and choosing 

Insert > Chart... 

from the menu bar. Once the chart is made, I try to adjust the scale of the y-axis by right-clicking and selecting 

Format Axis > Scale

and unchecking the Automatic boxes next to the Minimum and Maximum settings. If I enter new values, the program responds with the error message 

``Numbers are required. Check your input." 

This happens even if I simply re-enter the default values. However, if I uncheck the boxes *without* editing the default values, I do not get this error message.

I can fully confirm the behaviour as reported by perkins@physics.ucsb.edu

OS WIN7/74 on Intel core i3 system.

LibreOffice 3.5.5.3 
Build ID: 7122e39-92ed229-498d286-15e43b4-d70da21

The erroneous input validation is not occuring ALWAYS when switching from automatic to manually setting graph scale. Both X- and Y-axis manual scaling are affected.

This behaviour seems to be generic and was also reported for Ubuntu systems.

Further to my previous report.

The same erroneous error message pops up when changing the Y-axis (range 0..100) from linear to logarithmic scale. Simply clicking the "logarithmic"  checkbox causes the "numbers are required" message.

Not reproducible here:

Version 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 784302d)
Linux

Maybe it has been fixed between 3.5.5.3 and my master build.
