Dear Maintainer,

In the diagram window, there are some representation errors:
* In bar diagrams, when we chose cones or pyramids, the volumes of the cones or
pyramids are not proportional with the values (but their height is proportional
with the value, here is the error).
* In circle diagrams, the check box to create fake 3D diagram is still there.
It should not because the area of what’s seen is not proportional with the
values.
I know that these representations are popular but if they are false or
erroneous, they should be fixed.

Yours,
nicolas

some? Why one report then? This makes forwarding extra hard since if I forward this to one bug they will react the same as I do now.

Two separate issues in one bug?

If I split them marking them as forwarded is bad. (And I am not fixing it myself in any case.)

:/

(I will NOT intervene when upstream decided to close this.)

Put into https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171724 as-is.

Hello,

All of them are in the same sub-window, that’s why I filed one bug
instead of two or three.
Of course because it’s an upstream bug (I checked the right checkbox).
As you wish…

OK, thank you.

Yours,

Aha. Makes sense. That was not 100% clear from your text... "diagram window" can mean many things...

And you didn't read the pretext.. :)

I personally think upstream bugs belong upstream and have no place here.

Playing proxy just doesn't make sense, since the submitter knows best what is the issue. Especially for bugs like this which are not RC anyway, so no need to fix it before upstream does (or not..)

(BTW, which checkbox? Please don't tell me you use a graphical thingy not even showing the bug presubj text. That at least would explain your reports...)

See above. (The play proxy thing.)

Sorry for not having been clear.
I did not find what I missed in the pre-text because I don’t use
LibreOffice elsewhere than in Debian.

I disagree with you.

If there is an upstream check box, there is a reason. As far as I
remember, it was not here when I first filed bugs.

If you find that this entry in the checkboxes should not be here, you
may file a report against bugreport. ;)

A proxy is not useless.

A proxy filters bad reports (oopsie), dupes… A proxy knows the package,
its bugs, features and so on, better than a simple user like me, even if
I report bugs since a long time in Debian (and some of them might not be
perfectly reported or written, of course).

The graphical thingy shows the pre-text, the non-graphical thingy shows
checkboxes before filling the report.

Yours,
