GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 605043
XY plot import/export does not preserve series line style
Last modified: 2009-12-21 21:23:00 UTC
If you create an XY plot in gnumeric which is a scatterplot, i.e. does not have a series line, then save it as .xls, close it and then immediately re-load it back into Gnumeric, a solid series line has been added. For a scatterplot this yields a ratsnest of lines rather than a scatter of points. I don't know if the line style is added on export or import, since I don't have Excel to test with.
Looks like an old issue is back.
Both import and export are broken.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
