Cannot change symbols in charts in LibreOffice Calc 6.4

[SeijiSensei]

After the upgrade to LO 6.4 in Kubuntu 20.04, it is not possible to change the symbols used to identify points in charts created in Calc. I have filed a bug report with LO, but thought I would mention it here as well. The symbols used seem to be chosen at random. I've gotten boxes and triangles and cannot change them to my preferred symbol, the plus sign.

I've used LO for years and have never encountered this problem before.

I don't know why it says the package is not installed.

$ ls /usr/bin/libreoffice -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Apr 2 11:11 /usr/bin/libreoffice -> ../lib/libreoffice/program/soffice

$ ls /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6738 Mar 30 04:16 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice

I've reproduced this in an updated kubuntu 20.04 vm. There are no journalctl logs made when I change the icon either.

Note that in the common gnome based Ubuntu, this is not an issue and any symbol can be set in charts.

SejiSensei, do you have a link to the upstream bug you filed? I couldn't find on in the document foundation that looks related.

Thanks for the bug report, sounds like an issue that would be nice to fix but which we aren't going to consider rls target since it doesn't happen in Ubuntu and seems only a graphical preference
