Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
In Calc, select 'Insert" => 'Chart', then in the wizard box that appears, select chart type 'Line' then 'Points and Lines". then 'Next'.
The Data Rage selection step is then presented in the wizard box.
Attempts to set a non-contiguous data range, as shown in the help package, Calc will not accept a seemingly valid range.
After the first column selection is show correctly in the text box, and then a semicolon is manually typed, the wizard turns the color of the text box for the datarange red, and refuses to accept the following input text:
$Sheet1.
On windows (Vista in my case) a similar selection procedure works as expected.
When in this mode (text box is red), Calc also won't allow the selecting or de-selecting of the choices that are presented below the text box.
A simple test spreadsheet with 3 columns, each having a few rows of numbers, should show this problem. Try selecting the first, then the third columns for charting. In this simple case, the text box would contain e.g.:
$Sheet2.
