Description Fabrizio Marcotulli 2012-12-05 09:10:41 UTC

I've only tried it on a blank spreadsheet, but I have no reason to believe it would work differently using a template or opening a previous document.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From a blank spreadshet, create two columns of data next to each other.
2. select the region of the two columns and click the chart button.
3. click somewhere on thespreadsheet and place the chart.
Actual Results:  
I could not select any cell by mouse clicking and I could only handle the chart. I could not handle cells.

Expected Results:  
I expected to be able to select the cells with a mouse click, showing a black rectangle to indicate my selection be able to edit saaid cells.
The same can be said about the chart.


The video shows me using Unity (ubuntu12.04), but I also have kubuntu-desktop installed on my machine, so I doubt I am missing any important component

This is both a bug and not a bug. 

It's not really a bug because after creating the chart the tool selected is the "shape handling" tool which, well, handles shapes. You can get out of this tool by selecting the Cell Formatting tool in the toolbox to the right. 

But it is a bug because this behaviour is totally unnatural and difficult to understand at first. When the pointer is clicked outside any shape it should automatically switch to the cell tool. This is how other spreadsheets work.

Git commit 06dccbcfed111d35c409284719594f61e8017448 by Tomas Mecir.

Pushed by mecir into branch 'calligra/2.9'.

When double-clicking outside of any shape, switch to the cell tool.

This mimics the behaviour of flake which we do not get by default, as the main widget/app of Sheets is not a shape.
A better solution should likely be sought, but for now this will do.
