Bug ID: 153467
Summary: Charts created by Calc are damaged when copied as
Metafile (GDI)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When using Charts created by Calc in other contexts it is often useful or all
the way necessary to paste them as Metafiles, with the specific option of
"paste special command". This often makes them more compatible with other
applications.
While the procedure worked perfectly in previous LO releases, In 7.5.0 I
discovered that all axis labels are now lost when you paste a Calc chart as
metafile, even inside the same calc file where the original chart was.
This makes the functionality unusable, forcing in some cases to resort to
bitmap image pasting, which implies heavier files and low resolution.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new calc file, put in some data and create a chart (line or
dispersion type for example) with the data
2.Now select the chart, and copy it into the clipboard
3.In the same file (or in any other spreadsheet, or write, or Impress, or
Draw), paste special the chart choosing "Metafile Graphics Device interface
(GDI)"
4. the result is a copy of the chart that misses all axis labels, but indeed
any text that was present, for instance the title you may have inserted
5. Notice that if you copy and "normal" paste the charts with normal paste in
another app, Draw for instance, then copy copy again from the chart already
pasted in Draw, and Paste special GDI, now it works. In some ways it is
specifically the copy from Calc that causes the problem
Actual Results:
Copying calc charts and pasting special them as metafile GDI make all text in
the chart disappear
Expected Results:
The paste special as GDI command should always give a metafile that is visually
equal to the original
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
