Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-calc

Would it be possible to add a feature allowing the user to change the border colours of chart symbols independently of line colours and fill colours? This can be very useful, and was present in OpenOffice 2.2.0-1ubuntu5, the default installation on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty).

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean, can you describe in more detail what you are talking about?

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

I'll do my best!

In the uploaded screen-shot 'OpenOffice.org2.4.png', you can see the 'Data Series' window that appears when editing how a particular data series is displayed in the graph as seen in openoffice.org-calc 2.4 (the default version on Hardy Heron). Changing any of the items on the left-hand side of this window will affect the line connecting up the data points. The 'color' [sic] option, when changed, will affect both the colour of the line AND the fill colour of the data points (in this case: blue). The colour of the border around the data point (in this case: black) cannot be changed at all.

In the screen-shot 'OpenOffice.org2.2(Borders).png', the same window and tab can be seen, this time from openoffice.org-calc version 2.2 (the default version on Feisty Fawn). The layout here is identical to that of the 2.4 version, except for one thing: the 'color' [sic] option affects the BORDER of the data points, not the fill colour. The fill colour can be changed by using the 'Area' tab (see the screen-shot 'OpenOffice.org2.2(Area).png').

The arrangement in version 2.4 seems to be a step back from that in 2.2, and was wondering if it was possible to have the old 2.2 arrangement re-instated.

Regards,

Mark Pokorny.

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
