a sample .xls file with a chart to illustrate the problem

LibreOffice Calc, ver. 4.0.4.2, Linux CentOS

Problem not critical but annoying.

Calc prompts user to save an XLS file (which contains a chart) when no changes were made to the file.  It seems as if the presence of a chart in the file may be triggering this.

A sample.xls file is attached.  To reproduce the problem, try opening and closing the file.

Thanks,
Max

Confirmed under Debian 7 with v4.1.4.2 Build ID: 0a0440ccc0227ad9829de5f46be37cfb6edcf72 and Crunchbang 11 with v4.2.2.1 Build ID: 3be8cda0bddd8e430d8cda1ebfd581265cca5a0f. Opening the provided XLS results in the file modified status being triggered, thus closing the file asks for confirmation. Status set to NEW.

Repro with LO 4.3.2.2 portable - Win7 x86

Seems a fileopen problem, not filesave. If someone could provide simple test case with exact reproducible steps it would help dev a lot.

What do you mean under testcase? List of steps how to create such file with bug?

Yup. More simple the steps to repro bug, more easy for dev to identify problem & fix the bug.
Comment 6 Yan Pas 2014-11-04 17:51:42 UTC
I have found that if I delete all 3 diagrams from my xls I am no longer asked to save file

Another dependency! Steps to reproduce:
1) Create xls file
2) Insert formula (X^2 for example)
3) Save it
4) Open again and try to close - you will be asked if you want to save changes

Still repro with 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (718f540fb63af27c1336f89213444e9af753b8a9).

This is actually a regression that started with the following commit, bibisected using repo bibisect-41max.

Must be fixed in master. The change depends on https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/0c88fd43aebc57ebe8e4e49b74c1b6bef067ad89; I don't plan to backport them.
