Bug ID: 151797
Summary: Cannot set data label on a line with no symbols (Calc
graph)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.2.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
LibreOffice is a great product but there are some oddities that are hard to
understand.
I have a fairly simply column/line graph - straight lines with no symbols.
Occasionally there is an unusually high or low value in the line on my graph
that I want to emphasize by adding a data label. When I click on the line, it
highlights the series with a blue square symbol at each data point. This
suggests that I could select a single data point, but I cannot -- each attempt
to do so has no effect, the entire series remains selected. I expected to be
able to click on a point to select it and right-click to Insert Single Data
Label, but this does not work - you cannot click to select any data point.
To add a single data label to a line with no symbols, you must first right
click to choose Format Data Series and then choose a symbol for the line in the
pop-ip dialogue, and click OK. Now you can select the data point you want to
highlight and right-click to choose Insert Single Data Label.
Once the data label is set, then I have to reverse the whole process. Click
away from the series to deselect the data point. Then click on the series and
right click Format Data Series, set the line to No Symbol and click OK.
This bug has existed for a number of years, it is not a recent regression.
(Well, I say "bug" but perhaps it is an enhancement request to be able to
choose a data point on a graph line series that has no symbols and choose
Insert Single Data Label.)
