I can confirm this bug in Version 3.6.3.2 (Build ID: 58f22d5).  When I update the data range in an XY scatter plot, it changes the line colors, symbols, primary vs. secondary axis, etc.

Minimum test case for data range bug
Comment 4 Michael Crouch 2012-11-26 16:04:58 UTC
I submitted an attachment with a minimum test case for this bug.

Instructions to reproduce:
1) Double-click on chart
2) Right-click, then click "Data Ranges"
3) The data range should read "$Sheet1.$A$1:$B$7,$Sheet1.$E$1:$E$7".  Change the first "7" to "12".
4) Wait until the preview updates.
5) Change the second "7" to "12".  The second series reappears, but with its formatting reset.  (It changes from green to red).
6) Click "OK".

As you can see, changing the data range of this graph resets all of the formatting choices in the second series.

This bug does *not* happen if you make both changes quickly enough (by typing quickly, or using copy-paste to overwrite both at once).  It seems to only happen when previewing, and only when the data range contains multiple cell ranges.

Thanks for looking into this matter and identifying the "needed speed".

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

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 on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   *If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
   *If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

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)

http://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

I made a test in 4.3.6.1 and the bug does not show up anymore.

Thus changed status to RESOLVED and WORKSFORME
