Description Sembazuru 2011-05-09 16:15:13 UTC
I have several files that I use for data analysis at work that were made with an earlier OOo version (pre Oracle) that crash on me. What happens is I have a chart (x-y scatter plot) that has trend lines (some with linear regression lines and some with power regression lines). I copy to a new file. I delete from the new file all the old data (the range defined for the chart's x values) and it crashes. Recovery seems to work, and then when I start entering new data it crashes on the first x value. If I enter my new data into a text file, and then clipboard copy/paste I don't get the error.

I just tried creating a new version of one of my files from scratch using LibO3.3.2 (PortableApps version). I entered dummy data to be able to create the trend lines I want. I deleted all the x data, and got a crash as soon as I attempted to duplicate the sheet.

I'm no developer, but it seems to me to be an un-trapped arithmetic error (divide by zero?) in the trend line routine when there aren't enough data-points available to calculate the defined trend line.

could please provide step by step instructions to reproduce the bug.

e.g. 
a) enter xyz into cells a1:f13 etc., 
b) click insert | new | | foo

etc.

or provide a document that has some or all initial the data and some detailed steps to create the plot ( sorry I have little clue about charts ) and to trigger the crash, that would be really helpful

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:

needinfo keyword redundant by needinfo status.
