PPTX document with the charts that do not render correctly.

Problem description: 
PPTX files with embedded charts (example attached) do not render correctly.  In the first case, the chart type appears incorrect (multiple bars instead of split bars).  In the second case, the placement of the plotting symbols is incorrect.


Steps to reproduce:
1. PowePoint document is created with embedded Excel Chart using Office 2008 (Mac)
2. File is saved as PPTX
3. File is opened in Impress.

Current behavior:
In the first chart, the split bars are replaced with multiple bars and the lengths do not seem to reflect the data (shown in table on the same slide).
In the second chart, the glyphs should be spaced according to the supplied data, but instead they appear to be evenly spaced.

Expected behavior:
I will attach a PDF showing correct rendering

Comment 2 Rob Snelders 2012-12-12 22:02:21 UTC
Confirmed with LoDev4.0-Beta1 on Ubuntu 12.04 X86_64.

Bug 58197 is maybe related to this bug.

Still valid on OS X 10.9, LO Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+

Charts displayed very wrong.

PDF export using 4.3.2.2

Looks quite good now.
The legend order is reversed in the first chart.
In the second chart the glyphs for the violet and red lines are not the same as in " PDF showing expected rendering of charts".
Comment 5 A (Andy) 2015-11-20 22:22:30 UTC
Buggy behaviour reproducible with LO 5.0.3.2, Win 8.1

General: The font is different and this leads to a different character rendering, different line breaks and for instance different number of text lines on slide 1.

Slide 2: Chart legend has a different order.  The axis labeling has different intervals.

Slide 3: The line icons are different as described in comment 4.

Major interval setting in PP and Impress side by side

The bar chart here has a default major interval of 10% in Impress, while the same default value is 0.2 in PowerPoint. 
Hence the bar chart on slide 2 has twice as much X axis labels as in PowerPoint

Dear Russell Almond,

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
