cannot chart data of multiple regions

[Paul Forgey]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

The help states:

In Calc, an example data range would be "$Sheet1.$B$3:$B$14". Note that a data range may consist of more than one region in a spreadsheet, e.g. "$Sheet1.A1:A5;$Sheet1.D1:D5" is also a valid data range. In Writer, an example data range would be "Table1.A1:E4".
In Calc, click Select data range to minimize the dialog, then drag to select the data range. Click Select data range again to enter the data range.
If you want a data range of multiple cell areas that are not next to each other, enter the first range, then manually add a semicolon at the end of the text box, then enter the other ranges. Use a semicolon as delimiter between ranges.

This is fiction, although it would be handy (in fact, graphing would even be usable) if this were true. The behaviour of Calc clearly indicates this functionality is not supported, so this appears to be a documentation error.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, according to this report, you are not using the most recent version of this package for your Ubuntu release. Please upgrade to the most recent version and let us know if you are still having this issue.

I tried to reproduce this bug in Maverick 10.10 i386 2.6.35-24.42 with openoffice.org-calc 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1. The behavious was as expected.

Thanks in advance.
