Hi Luke.. I think this report is too general, different type of chart could produce different result. And this contains 2 main bugs: export & import, usually it's separated. It's better if you could give step by step procedure to create particular chart. Anyway, perhaps it's been reported before? Looks like many bugs regarding chart legend.
@ign_christian Are you having trouble reproducing this bug with the attachment 94493 [details]? I just tested with 4.4 and it's still reproducible. What part of my instructions can't you follow or are not clear? Every chart type and chart data that I've tried has yields this bug. The key to triggering this bug is moving the legend without using the defaults in the dialog box(top, left, right, bot). How much more specific do you need? It's true that someone needs to isolate the cause of this bug, but that's beyond what I'm capable of.
