Description Andreas J. Guelzow 2014-04-17 03:21:33 UTC 
Create line chart
Open the properties window and click on 'Chart1'
Change the object position to manual

Note the nonsensical automatic size. The chart effectively disappears.

"size" was probably not well chosen, but a boolean would not work since there are other possible values: "none", "width", "height", and various "*-abs". It might have been "both" instead.
Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2014-04-17 12:27:28 UTC 
I think we're stuck with "size".  Is there a place to document the meaning?
Comment 3 Jean Bréfort 2014-04-17 12:49:56 UTC 
We are not stuck to "size", just if we change, we need to accept it when loading, what would you prefer "both", "full", or "height&width", or ...?

Just commited a patch for this bug, please test.
Comment 5 Andreas J. Guelzow 2014-04-17 14:11:56 UTC 
The gui for size of a chart has only two settings: automatic and manual. From that point of view a boolean would have been fine. I gather in theory there are more options that cannot be set in the gui.
Comment 6 Jean Bréfort 2014-04-17 15:19:25 UTC 
It has only two settings for now. But this might chenge (it will if I find time).
Comment 7 Morten Welinder 2014-05-07 15:24:44 UTC 
Looks fixed.
