Created attachment 119527 [details] example chart to test bug Steps to reproduce: 1. In Calc create a chart with labels 2. Edit the chart 3. Using the sidebar try to change the value of Axis -> Text Orientation Note that if you change the value using the dialog box, the value indicated by the sidebar is incorrect. It is always zero. Changing the value in the sidebar has no effect on the actual text orientation.
Confirmed. Seems the field hasnt been linked to the functionality as the values in the dialog dont appear in the field as well.
