If I create a chart in calc, as long as I do not exit calc I can

and exit calc, then run calc again and open the spreadsheet, things
are screwed up. When first reopened, the chart looks fine. However,
modifying data values no longer cause the chart to change, and when
I double click on the chart to edit it all of the data in the chart
disappears, as well as the axis labels which are based on the data.
This is an unrecoverable error -- there's no way to undo the double
click to get the data display in the chart back.
Is this a known behavior? Is there something one can do to preserve
the dynamic aspects of a chart?
Anyone, please give me a sanity check on this one. File is in
http://www.dreamchaser.org/garya/downloads/ChartDataBug_3.ods
Load it and follow the instructions.
The document file certainly has a problem, but it behaves differently
on my 4.1.1 on Windows XP:
o The chart displays correctly when the document is opened.
o I can select the chart so as to display the eight coloured handles
- and can move it.
o But I cannot select it using double-click so as to be able to edit it.
o Modifications to the chart data are indeed not reflected in the chart.
But (crucially):
o I can create a new chart successfully in the same document, which
behaves correctly - even when the document is saved and reopened.
o Did you create this from a blank document or perhaps from some
earlier original (that may have had problems)?
o Can you reproduce the problem in a new document?
o Is there a problem with your template? If you have set an
alternative template, go to File | Templates > | Organise... . Click
Commands; if you see Reset Default Template >, click it and select
Spreadsheet. In a new document, does that make a difference?
I trust this helps.
