<pre>Description:
When I edit the Data Ranges of a certain chart in LibreOffice Calc, its 'Data
Range' is '$template.$F$4:$G$54' and the 'Data Series' entries likewise begin
with '$template".
Part 1: If I remove the $ from just the Data Range field, or both the Data
Range and Data Series fields, then when close and reopen Data Ranges the $
signs have returned, though sometimes just one Data Series field doesn't have
it.
Part 2: If I remove the $ signs from only Data Series, sometimes they stay
gone for a while, but then eventually in a new sheet (copied from the template
sheet) a chart doesn't reflect the data and I find its Data Ranges point to
$template, as do the Data Series fields of the original chart again.
I do not know what the earliest version affected by this is--I've seen this
problem for a while, but had been updating occasionally hoping that a newer
version would fix it. I have not found this bug in Bugzilla by searching for
'sheet dollar chart', though I have seen this issue mentioned at this URL:
<a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/74474/can-i-set-a-charts-data-ranges-relative-to-current-sheet/">https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/74474/can-i-set-a-charts-data-ranges-relative-to-current-sheet/</a>
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert a chart in a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet.
2. In 'Data Ranges' for that chart, remove the $ signs before the sheet name in
the Data Range tab and the Data Series tab.
3. Close and reopen 'Data Ranges' and observe that the deleted $ signs have
been replaced.
4. (Optional: Copy the sheet and see that the new sheet's chart refers to the
cells in the previous sheet, not the new sheet.)
Actual Results:
Deleted $ signs are replaced as if they had never been deleted. (If only Data
Series $ signs are deleted, then they stay deleted for a while and are later
replaced with hard-to-predict timing.)
Expected Results:
Deleted $ signs should have stayed deleted forever. I do not object to either
Data Range or Data Series overriding the other (such as adding or removing $ in
Data Range adding or removing it from all Data Series fields), but I do object
to all fields reverting to having unwanted $ signs.
Reproducible: Always
