Description noeltodd 2023-01-01 10:43:35 UTC
When a bar chart is created, X axis 'Position Axis' is set to 'Between tick marks' as default. If this is changed to 'On tick marks' and then the file is saved, this state is saved correctly. However, if the Position Axis is then changed back to 'Between tick marks' this state is not saved for future sessions. All future sessions open with bars 'On tick marks'.

Similar problem with the same file also for Linux version.
Here some data of my system.

I try to change manually the characteristics of the series. After that Call apparently freeze and is necessary kill the task.

On pc Debian x86-64 with LO Debian package 7.4.5 + on Windows on 7.5.4.2, I could reproduce this but I don't reproduce this with master sources updated today.

So it seems it's either fixed from next release LO 7.5.5 or 7.6.0.
Comment 8 BogdanB 2023-06-10 12:35:45 UTC
It was resolved meanwhile. I retested on Linux, and working well with
Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

Noel, please try to test this on 7.6 or 24.2 version, and if you meet the same problem, please reopen.
Comment 9 noeltodd 2023-06-11 15:55:39 UTC
The latest version available to download is 7.5.4 so I installed that. The problem  still exists.

One thing I've noticed is that now, when a bar chart is created, the default positioning of the bars is 'between tick marks'. I think before it was 'on tick marks'.

However, once the 'Position Axis' setting is changed to 'On tick marks' (and saved) it can never be changed and saved for future sessions as 'Between tick marks'. It is forever stuck as 'On tick marks'.

All the work is done in a version up. So, 7.6 or 24.2 in this case. You have to wait until September when will be release 7.6 or February 2024 for 24.2.

Thank you. I will keep an eye out for that release.
