Bug ID: 172433
Summary: High memory usage when inserting pie chart with A:A
whole-column shorthand
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Chart
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Specifying the data range for a pie chart can use a surprisingly large amount
of memory; possibly a memory leak.
Suppose I want to create a pie chart that references the data in column A, such
that I can add additional entries at the bottom and have the chart update. I
expect to be able to refer to the column using the shorthand A:A, the way I can
when typing functions like =AVERAGE(A:A). When I make that chart and type in
the data range reference, LibreOffice becomes unresponsive and gradually starts
using more and more memory.
There is a workaround by typing a smaller data range like A1:A100, but I would
expect a less resource-intensive behavior to be the default.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new Calc document.
2. Type some test data to column A, like the numbers 1-5.
3. menu Insert -> Chart. Choose a pie chart. For the Data Range, type
$Sheet1.$A:$A . Click finish.
Actual Results:
Calc becomes unresponsive after clicking Finish and begins consuming an
increasing, unbounded amount of system memory until forced to quit.
Expected Results:
Calc creates a pie chart using only the defined data in column A.
Alternatively, the data range text box is highlighted red to indicate an error.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
