Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 82733
Chart created on DDE linked table does not display well in Master Document
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:21:29 UTC
Please bear with me on this: The bare minimum to recreate this (as attached): -1 Spreadsheet document, with two sheets filled out -2 Writer documents, each with DDE link to one of the sheets -1 Chart in one of the writer documents, created from the DDE link data -1 Master document, with the chartless file first, and the charted file second. In the master document, the chart (from the second file) will display either nothing (after update) or some data relating to the DDE link in the first file. Thus, one would think master documents don't like charts... Or the other way around.

@iha: pls have a look.
->Bjoern, please take over.

Turns out that inserting several Charts (say 4) could cause a C++ Runtime error on saving. Is there anyway I can lobby for this issue to be resolved earlier than 3.x?
->TL: please have a look or forward to the responsible engineer.

Testing in 2.4.1 does not reproduce the error (even the 4 chart mention). Mark as resolved?
Testing in 3.0.1 does not reproduce the error. Mark as resolved?
The bug still exists in 3.0.1 and 3.1. You have to select Tools.Update.All Charts to see the problem. When selecting "Update all", the Chart will be taken from the linked sub-document, where it is stored correctly.
