Bug ID: 173956
Summary: Editing diagram data range upon diagram selection by
dragging
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.3.0 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
To edit the range of data a diagram uses, one needs to go through a right-click
menu to "Edit Data Ranges...".
This is sometimes hard to find [1], needs several steps and requires switching
between the spreadsheet and a property window.
We currently already highlight the range of data that the diagram uses; instead
of merely highlighting it, we could allow to move and drag the data range, just
like we can resize selections and update the diagram accordingly.
For users migrating from Excel, this will already be a familiar method of
changing the range.
Risks could be that the range is changed accidentally (as it can happen with
everything that is directly editable); given that there is immediate visual
feedback both in the range and in the diagram and the avaliablity of undo I
consider the risk to be low.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a diagram that uses a data range
2. Select the diagram
3. Double-click the diagram
Actual Results:
On 2, nothing related to the range happens; on 3 we get a range highlight, but
no handle to resize
Expected Results:
On 2 we could show a range highlight with a handle for resizing.
Reproducible: Always
