Description Giacomo 2008-07-27 07:05:21 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
It would seems that Gnumeric can't remember the orientation of x-axis text if the file type is .xls

Steps to reproduce:
1. make a chart
2. apply to x-axis text 90 degrees orientation 
3. save as .xls
4. close and open with Gnumeric


Actual results:
The text orientation changes to 0 (zero) degrees

Expected results:
The text orientation would be 90 degrees

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
For .xlsx files see Bug 544933

please supply a sample file and specify the exact version of gnumeric.

Things seem worse than that. Attached file also looses the series data, apparently.
Comment 3 Jean Bréfort 2008-07-28 09:15:07 UTC 
The text orientation serialization was never implemented for xls format. The fix is not difficult, just the options are so different between xl and gnumeric.
Seems that the series data issue is an export issue, since OOocalc does not find them either.

proposed patch

I broke chart export when fixing 519788. All versions released since then are affected. Seems we need a new 1.8.x release. Sorry.
Comment 5 Jean Bréfort 2008-07-28 12:20:58 UTC 
Fixed in both branches.
