Thanks for the report. I reproduce in: Version: 7.6.6.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d97b2716a9a4a2ce1391dee1765565ea469b0ae7 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded As well as a recent trunk build: Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 695e8742da850bbb15c2e6d2b5d4c99a0daf4925 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Already the case in 4.4.0.3, when PNG and BMP paste were made available, so assuming it is an implementation error. Also an issue on Win11. |
Created attachment 193413 [details] Example for incorrect copy/paste Please see the attached spreadsheet. Just do a filter (e.g. to TRUE only) and then select the chart and anywhere (on the same sheet or LO Writer) paste it as a bitmap image. You can also paste it in a bitmap handling software like gnome-paint. The problem is that the bitmap renders a chart that includes the filtered out datapoints as well. Doing more research, I found that: When the file is saved with the filter on and then the file is loaded (and I guess the chart is rendered freshly with only the filtered data) then the filtered chart is copied/pasted properly. If then I touch the filter (e.g. select all, but also if I just remove the current and add the other value, e.g. unmark TRUE and mark FALSE), then the chart as an object will always be correct, but the copied/pasted image will always be with the unfiltered dataset. As a side question: Within LO Calc I can choose a paste special as a PNG object (btw. with the same problems as a BMP). However in LO Writer I can only paste it as a BMP, not as a PNG. Why is that? P.S. I use this approach, so not the whole object is copied to a text document, but only the image.
