Description Hannes 2015-01-02 12:51:04 UTC
Problem description: 
2 charts included in a xls file (file created by LO 4.2.7.2 and saved as xls) are displayed incorrectly after these steps: file-safe / close Calc / lock + unlock desktop / start Calc / open xls file.
Problem continues after completely restart of Mint17 (Cinnamon 2.2.16; kernel 3.13.0-24-generic). 

Problems in detail:
1) several values in chart differ from values in table;
2) value-lines (thickness, transparency) had changed;
3) value-lines: connection from one to next data point changed from 'step' to 'curved' style. 

Additional information: xls-file was marked "file changed" just after opening. 
Seems this bug is solved with LO version 4.3.x as stated in BUG 74808; but I have no RANDOM number in use... so just waiting for release version of LO 4.3.x?

LO 4.3 has been out since August 2014. LO 4.2.x is now End-of-Lifed. Get 4.3.5.2 here:
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

Can you reproduce the problem with 4.3.5 or later? If so, change status back to UNCONFIRMED. If not, change status to RESOLVED WORKSFORME.
Thanks!

Status -> NEEDINFO

I will wait for LO-update shown by LinuxMint's Update Manager; I keep in mind to check the problem with the chart again if I have LO version 4.3.x installed.

Hi Hannes,
I'm not sure how quickly Mint will push out a build of LO 4.3, but please do let us know how everything works out once you get the update.

If it's more than a couple of months from now, you may get an automated update to the bug report. Don't worry: You can always change the bug back to 'UNCONFIRMED' in the future if you find that the bug hasn't been fixed.
