Hello Sophie,

The same on Windows 7 Home Premium. x labels are missing on Chart after copy.

Kind regards,

Jacques

I'm not happy with the commit. It clearly breaks copy&paste and categories are not necessarily written out. I would vote to revert the patch and look for a proper fix without breaking chart2 in all other applications.

Who understands the principles of the charts code? When should categories be present and when not, and whose responsibility is it to add them / how can an application signal to the chart code it does not want categories?

I think currently I'm the one knowing most about the chart code. I would need to explore why base is behaving different than calc, writer, impress but an initial look at the file shows that the data table has a slightly different form.

I still think we should revert this patch as it breaks copying charts and it is a regression.

Since nothing is happening, and the chart breakage is significant, I took this advice and reverted it.  Sorry.
