Title elements in charts do not round trip with xls

Distribution/Version: Debian "sid" (unstable) Originally reported as http://bugs.debian.org/305399 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Eddy Petrisor <eddy.petrisor@gmail.com> Date: Sun, 17 Apr 2005 23:36:56 +0300 Subject: Bug#305399: gnumeric: Title elements in charts are lost after save (.xls files) Package: gnumeric Version: 1.4.2-2 Severity: normal Gnumeric does not retain the title elements introduced in charts. Way to reproduce the bug: - create a set of data to be used for the input of the chart - create a chart - link the chart to the previously mentioned data - add a title element and fill its information - apply the changes and save the worksheet as an Excel file (.xls) - close gnumeric - reopen the xls file - the chart should have the title missing Is this a limitation of the xls format? I didn't try with the native format. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have verified that this behaviour is repeatable with CVS HEAD, that it does not occur when using gnumeric's native format and that openoffice.org 1.1.3 appears to have the same problem.
Jean it seems like some of your recent work might help here.
most probably yes, but it needs some more work.
Fixed, but position is not taken into account at the moment (this is not specific to titles).
Confirmed: with SVN trunk, the title text now round trips fine. It isn't recognised by OOcalc (2.2.1-8), but that may well be an issue at OOcalc's end.
Unfortunately, with gnumeric 1.8.0 and goffice 0.6.1, the issue is back for me; it can be reproduced using the same steps as in the original description of this report.
Created attachment 102654 [details] [review] saves the graph title when the chart has no title
The patch works for the test case from the new report I received (http://bugs.debian.org/305399) and follows the principle of least surprise, so I'm happy with it. Thanks Jean!
Please commit to both trees.
Cool. Nice to see this is fixed :-) Thanks to both of you guys!
