Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 70358
Add-On Toolbar may occupy some space of an active OLE object
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:31:14 UTC
1. Install an add-on (I installed the Object Inspector. See http://api.openoffice.org/files/documents/22/3674/Inspector.uno.pkg) => After Office restart you get a toolbar containing a button "Object Inspector" 2. Create a new Text document 3. Insert a Spreadsheet OLE object and activate (should be active after insertion) 4. You see the Add-On toolbar floating. Dock it somewhere (top, left, etc.) 5. Leave the OLE inplace mode and reenter (double-click) => Now the space that is needed by the Add-On toolbar is reserved inside the OLE object (at the corresponding place, i.e. top, left, etc.) The toolbar is shown correctly outside the OLE object, but the OLE content is shifted, so that some of the content is no longer visible (like the x-axis in an OLE chart) It does not happen with an OLE Impress in Writer. This is probably due to the fact that Impress fiddles around with the docking area for its panes anyway (just a wild guess).
As noted before, this can be nasty, as you can e.g. no longer select the x-axis in a chart. But the good news is that undocking the add-on toolbar (and once deactivating + activating) helps. So there is a work-around.
cd: Accepted.
Note: MBA did some larger changes in sfx2 in the CWS inplaceobjects. It might make sense to check if this issue still occurs on this CWS or on a master with this CWS integrated (does not exist yet). Maybe Issue 67547 (fixed in inplaceobjects) is also related with this one.
according to release status meeting -> target 3.x
