Screenshot of the copy/paste bug

The Graph from excel does not copy/paste correctly into Libreoffice Draw.

It will copy the graph ( x axis & y axis & labels but does not copy/paste the actual graphed data )

Appears to be bug in libreoffice relating how to handle the graphed data from the  clipboard.

Copy / pasting a graph works fine in Open Office, MS Word etc.

I should also note that if you save the document in open office, then open in libreoffice.  The graph shows fine and can be copy/pasted properly.

Hi Mat, can you please attach the problematic LO file so this can be reproduced and looked into?

Is this bug still valid / reproducible with the latest LO release?  Currently 4.2.1: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/

Please also try resetting your user profile and let us know if that helps: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile

Should this be still reproducible for you with the latest LO release please set this bug back to UNCONFIRMED. Should this issue be solved set it to WORKSFORME.

Setting to NEEDINFO until more detail is provided.
Comment 2 Mat Fletcher 2014-03-05 04:52:44 UTC
Issue still present.

Downloaded 4.2.1.1  - No change 
Deleted user profile - No change

Same problem exists across multiple computers around the office.
Comment 3 Joel Madero 2014-03-07 03:50:12 UTC
I cannot reproduce this with 4.2.2.1 rc

Ubuntu 13.10
GNOME

Does this happen with every document for you? What is your OS? Please attach a spreadsheet that you're using as well as a draw document that has the messed up chart. 

Marking as NEEDINFO - once you attach and answer questions please mark as UNCONFIRMED.

Thanks

Excel spreadsheet attached.  

Windows 7 (64 bit)
Using Excel 2013 

Pasting the graph into a fresh LO Draw file.

If possible, try Excel 2013 to reproduce the issue.
Comment 7 Joel Madero 2014-03-07 06:01:04 UTC
Interesting - I can't even open that file with 4.2.2.1 nor with 4.3 master

Spreadsheet

I've uploaded another sample that opens in LO.

The orange line graph does not copy/paste correctly.  The blue/white graph from the same spreadsheet does copy/paste correctly.   

You need to copy the graph from Excel 2013 to the clipboard and paste it into LO to see the issue, yet open office draw works fine.
Comment 9 Jacques Guilleron 2014-03-10 17:48:14 UTC
Hi Mat,

If, in Excel, you save your files as .ods, you can open those files in LO 4.2.2.1.
At least, you have a way to work with thosee files.
Like Joel, I cannot open your xlsx Excel 2013 Spreadsheet, with LO 4.2.2.1 nor with LO 4.3.0.0.alpha0+

Cannot Copy directly from Excel to Draw, but, surprisingly, if you copy graphs and paste them in Word, you can this time copy correctly to Draw.


I set status to New,

Kind regards,

Jacques

Excel -> LibO only pastes the graph frame.

Dear Mat Fletcher,

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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
