Description Luke 2015-10-26 09:22:23 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open any .docx file containing a chart such as attachment 119957 [details]
2. Edit the chart

Note the Chart sidebar shows is missing some controls, and trying to make changes like series area color does not have any effect.

I notice this on Windows at work. But I thought I made somthing wrong... Maybe it's a Windows only related.

I have got this messaje on some testing: 
"func=xmlSecCheckVersionExt:file=xmlsec.c:line=188:obj=unknown:subj=unknown:error=19:invalid version:mode=abi compatible;expected minor version=2;real minor version=2;expected subminor version=25;real subminor version=26"

This is the reason I marked them as bibisect bad when this errors appears. 
I could change the color area of the bars on every versions I have tested on 6.1.

This bug is not properly reported with exact steps. "Some" is not a word for reporting. Points to .DOCX without explaining if ODT works, is is a general or import issue. Looks like a duplicate of Bug 116838 that's more clear.

Comment 9 Aron Budea 2021-03-31 03:37:15 UTC
I can clarify this, it's a different bug than bug 116838, that one's somewhat of a visual issue. Having the sidebar open before trying to edit an existing chart avoids it.

Open a DOCX with a chart, and with the sidebar already open, double-click it.
Do the same with an ODT with chart (eg. instert one in Writer, then save and reload it).

=>  For ODT the sidebar switches to chart properties, and for DOCX it doesn't.
On the other hand, the toolbar is the same for both.

Still repro with LO 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (3e4eb070787d4d44b3bdc95046e5b231dbbef42b) / Ubuntu.

In 25.8+ sidebar opens for object, not yet for chart.
