Description stephanfrye 2012-10-30 11:47:54 UTC
Problem description: 
Diagonal Y error bar

Steps to reproduce:
1. make column diagram
2. logarithmic Y axis
3. set value for the negative Y-error greater than the Y-value

Current behavior:
negative error bar starts in the upper left corner

Expected behavior:
error bar goes into negative area

hi,

Thanks for reporting. I did some tests and I can reproduce your behavior.

Some more detailed steps:
* Open Calc
* Type some values in rows and columns
* select values and create a regular bar chart of it (just skip all steps of creating one)
* Double click on your chart
* Format > Axis > Y
* Go to tab 'scale'
* check 'logaritmic scale' -> OK

* Insert > Y Error Bars
* 'Constant Value' and make sure you set 'Negative (-)' value quite high
* Ok

Deselect chart (if necessary)

Result: just a line, no chart. If you select the line and double click on it, a chart will be displayed again.

Tested using Linux Mint 15 x64 with LibreOffice Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+

The bug still persists in version 5.2.2.
Tested on Windows

Using logarithmic y scale, negative values of the error bar provokes diagonal lines, graph collapses to diagonal line when not selected.

Same problem as Bug 86407. 

Under linux graph draws correctly but collapses to diagonal line when not selected.

I've committed a proposed fix for this bug. It checks in VSeriesPlotter::createErrorBar() for a non-finite negative error bar position, and turns off the negative bar in that case. This mimics the behavior of MS Office, though Office also shows a pop-up dialog warning.

I was trying to keep this very focused so I didn't add corresponding code in the positive case (which I can see being a problem only in the event of numerical overflow).
