example DOCX file with a scatter chart

Importing charts with internal data stored in a DOCX file is imported with emptied series, loosing information.

Steps:
1) Open attached file from Writer. Alternatively, create a DOCX scatter chart in excel with some dummy series and then copy it in a Word file and save it as DOCX.

Results:
2) It seems to have only 2 series (though there are 3, but the symbols are imported as white colored)

Expected:
3) The file should have its 9 series with the data as saved originally.

Comment 7 Xisco Faulí 2020-03-05 10:46:35 UTC
Also reproduced in

Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: c15927f20d4727c3b8de68497b6949e72f9e6e9e

in previous versions, the chart is not even displayed
Comment 8 Francisco 2022-01-12 23:22:03 UTC
Still reproducible with LibreOffice 7.2.5.

At least, now the series with empty circles are shown. They are not visible in the comparison because LibO used to import empty circles as white.
But the problem is the other series, which are completely empty in the datatable.
