When a chart object is selected, the sidebar shows the same sections that appear when selecting an object/image (area, line, wrap, position and size) but instead it should show properties that allow a user to modify the properties of the chart like the chart type as well as formatting of the area, title, legend, gridlines, etc. It would be ideal if the most important chart properties could be exposed without being in chart edit mode and additional chart properties exposed when selecting on various parts of the chart within edit mode (e.g. formatting a data series).
Nice. +1

Markus mentioned in bug 101402 comment 13: "I suppose at some point I need to properly add the chart sidebar. Currently this is done through an hack by overwriting the sidebar of the current window. That sadly does not work well and seems to be fragile." This implementation has known issues with the refreshing of the properties tab when entering chart mode (bug 94288) and exiting chart mode (bug 94295 - presently set as WONTFIX).
