Duncan Clough, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions verbatim at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about the status. Thanks in advance.

These are the steps I used to create the sample spreadsheet: 1. Create new spreadsheet 2. In column A write the numbers 1 to 5 on rows 1 to 5. 3. In column B write the numbers 1 to 5 on rows 1 to 5. 4. Select all the numbers > Format > Cells. 5. In the Numbers tab select "Text" under the list of Categories. 6. Click OK. 7. Click the chart button (with the numbers still selected) 8. Select an XY scatter graph (I've tested with "points-only" and "points with lines") 9. Click Finish. You now have a graph that gives the error message when trying to change the scale. - Expected Behaviour: - The widget should accept the new values as numbers regardless of the formatting of the chart data. - - While the examples I've provided for reproducing the error are - contrived, I am seeing this issue in another document where changing the - formatting of the graph data is not possible/is not a workaround. - ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: libreoffice-calc 1:3.5.3-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-26.41-generic 3.2.19 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Jul 19 00:15:50 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120328) SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1026356 Title: Bad validation on Scales box on Axis (chart properties) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1026356/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
