Description Marlon Nelson 2007-05-16 16:42:12 UTC 
Steps to produce the bug:

1) start gnumeric
2) create data to be charted
3) create a chart of the data
4) select the chart
5) copy & paste the chart into the same worksheet
6) arrange the charts, one overlapping the other
7) save the spreadsheet
8) close & restart gnumeric
9) load the spreadsheet - take note of the positioning (z-order)
10) save the spreadsheet
11) close & restart gnumeric
12) load the spreadsheet
13) goto step 10

Result:
    The chart order has changed

Expected Result:
    The chart order should not change

It's a general issue with sheet objects (I thought it was already reported, but I can't find a similar bug report).
Comment 2 Jody Goldberg 2007-07-25 23:34:53 UTC 
Simple fix.  Patch is in 1.7.12.
Comment 3 Marlon Nelson 2007-07-26 23:34:36 UTC 
I still see this problem with 1.7.12 at revision 15709.
Comment 4 Marlon Nelson 2007-07-26 23:38:26 UTC 
hmmmm.... it might be a different problem... i can't seem to affect the order that gnumeric saves the charts... it seems to pic an order and stick with it no matter how i arrange them afterwards (using pull to front, push to back, etc.)
Comment 5 Marlon Nelson 2007-07-26 23:53:20 UTC 
it may not have been clear in my original bug report that i'm using the context menu of the chart to manipulate the order on the worksheet.  at this time, selecting those menu items appears to work onscreen but the changes to the ordering don't seem to be saved.
Comment 6 Jody Goldberg 2007-07-31 21:24:20 UTC 
Good point.  I hadn't realized that the view stacking was actually only maintained in the controls, the model was never updated.  Patched in SVN for 1.7.12.
Comment 7 Marlon Nelson 2007-07-31 22:09:37 UTC 
looks good to me.  thanks!
