Created attachment 121809 [details]
SVG file generated from a Calc chart, Y-axis title orientation ambiguity

In Calc, create a chart with a Y-axis (e,g, column), and enter a Y-axis title. Exit edit mode, right click the chart, select Export as Image, and save as SVG.
Opening the resulting file in different applications gets different outcomes: in GIMP 2.8.10 and Image Viewer 3.10.2 the title is rendered correctly (vertically), but in Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Firefox 43.0, Inkscape 0.91, Opera 34.0, the y-axis title is rendered horizontally.

Example SVG file is attached.

Seems to be fixed in dev version, please could you test with dev version? You can download it here http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/

I have downloaded the dev version as you suggested, and it does indeed appear to have been fixed.  The SVG file I created from a chart in Calc was displayed correctly in all the other applications.

Many thanks for your help with this!
