Bug ID: 85073
Summary: Chart 'Data Ranges...' grayed out
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Chart

Sample spreadsheet
Using LO Version: 4.2.6.3 Build ID: 420m0(Build:3) under Linux Mint 17.
Use: Insert > Object > Chart... to create a simple chart.
Accept the default values in steps 1 and 2.
In step 3, click 'Add'. In the box headed 'Data series' appears the wording:
'Unnamed Series' and in the box headed 'Data ranges' there are two rows (or
more in the case of e.g.x-y plots). The top line reads 'Name'. As a beginner,
it appears to be possible to change 'Unnamed Series' to a name of your own
choosing by entering a value in the text edit box 'Range for Name', e.g. "Foo"
Enter a genuine data range, so that a nice-looking chart appears.
Now, if you save and close the spreadsheet and then re-open it, it is no longer
possible to access the 'Data Ranges...' dialog. The option to do so is grayed
out in the 'Format' menu, and on the right-click menu on the chart itself the
option has been replaced with 'Chart Data Table...' This is now only a copy of
the data and not linked to the spreadsheet.
Up until the save and re-open, it is still possible to access 'Data Ranges',
and indeed if "Foo" is deleted the spreadsheet may be saved and re-opened
without problems.
This is counter-intuitive to me. If 'Range for Name' can only accept
properly-defined spreadsheet ranges, then the user should be warned of this,
and not have to discover it after saving/re-opening his/her work.
Sample spreadsheet attached.
