Automatic update for charts in Writer i55007   feature-info:
Hi, As with CWS chart2mst3: The checkbox in the dialog "Tools/Options/Star Office Writer/General" named "Charts" is now indented the same level as the "Fields" box. Also enabling/disabling the "Field" box does not have an effect on the "Chart" box anymore. Thus toggling of automatic updates for charts is now fully a flag on it's own. If that flag is set and changes to a table cell (with a chart attached) are made the chart will be updated a moment after the cursor leaves the current cell. And this is right after the formula fields in a table got updated. Thus chart will get the correct value for every field. Previously the chart was only updated if cells/rows/columns got deleted/inserted or if a cell changed that was used in a formula field of another cell. Now all changes to a cells content will trigger the automatic update for the chart object if the cursor leaves the cell. Regards, Thomas
