I set High because it's marked regression and it's a high time to be fixed in branch 7.1 where it originated.
Comment 11 Mike Kaganski 2021-08-18 12:18:38 UTC
The number of OLE objects ending up saved to XLSX appears to depend on 'org.openoffice.Office.Common/Cache/DrawingEngine/OLE_Objects' value. The default value is 20.

Trying to investigate.
Comment 12 Mike Kaganski 2021-08-18 21:44:25 UTC
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/120688

This is not actually a true regression, just a pre-existing bug that was only masked by a side effect of charts being incorrectly marked modified on open.

This is all about export filter not loading properly the OLE objects that may get unloaded by the memory management in LO. The export reused the obsoleted references to unloaded objects, which couldn't be exported correctly; and I even suspect that existing "IsValidObject" testing chart objects validity in sc/source/filter/xcl97/xcl97rec.cxx might be a hack to "workaround" this actual filter bug.

I am thankful to paulystefan for this bug and the nice reproducers, that eventually allowed me to notice the fixed number of object kept in the result.

I am suspecting now that there might be a similar problem elsewhere in our code, that could be responsible for many "I lost images in a document" complaints that were impossible to investigate, because there were never a reliable reproducer. Now I suppose that adding a substantial number of different images, while reducing GraphicMemoryLimit (or TotalCacheSize) might allow to find a good reproducing scenario.
