When selecting the 'Chart' element of a pie chart in chart edit mode, the sidebar shows the area and line content panels, which it shouldnt, as the the 'format selection' option is disabled when in this selection and changing anything in area and line doesnt change anything in the chart. Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: cbf3fac0a5a1be34b2e1a58da959debd24ebc017 TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@70-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2015-09-17_07:03:22 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8)
I actually have no idea what the Chart element represents. Internally the type seems to be OBJECTTYPE_DIAGRAM. That one has already some special handling in the area and line panel for the other chart types.
