[Issue] Line breaks in bar charts are not working

Post by famo »

Hello,
I just discovered (again after some time) that the line breaks in bar chart are still not working in contrary to other charts, such as column charts.

But I couldn't find any related issue in the issue tracker, so I was wondering whether its only me having the problem (1) or I'm just to stupid to find the right issue (2) (I don't want to open a Dup).

Maybe someone can help me with 1 or 2....

Well I've not had the problem, but only because I don't use bar charts that often, but I can confirm I can't get it to work in 3.1.1, and I also can't find an issue covering this so either you are not #2 or we both are.

I believe the current behavior is intended, based on this comment: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bu ... 085#desc10:
Labels on vertical axes and value labels on any axis now are never wrapped over
multiple lines. Only horizontal text labels on horizontal axes are wrapped when
the property 'break' is set.

When the not wrapped labels do not fit into the rectangle that is given by the
user or by the automatic calculation then the labels just lap outside. But you
can still see and select the selection handles as they are placed on the user
defined rectangle - not on the resulting rectangle.
You may want to file a report just to be sure; at least there is a problem that the option checkbox does nothing.

Ok, I opened Issue 105173 as an enhancement.
