Sample file

Open the sample file in the OS that without MS office installed, check the OLE, it display correct.
Double click the OLE to edit the chart, a blank read-only speadsheet display, not the OLE chart.

This is not a bug. The application that created the OLE object needs to be installed in your system, in order to edit the OLE object.
The display might be correct because AOO shows a replacement graphics of the OLE object. This replacement graphics exists in order to display at least something to the user when she/he is not able to edit the OLE (this is actually the case in Linux, where you can't edit OLEs created by MS applications).

This is the actual bug, and is reproducible (and duplicated, sorry I can't find the duplicated issue right now).

>not the OLE chart.

This is not a bug; as said before, you need the application that created the OLE to be installed on your system.

Unless you are suggesting that Apache OpenOffice should import the MS chart/diagarm as an AOO Chart, so that it can be edit, the only bug here is that a spreadsheet is opened on double click.

If you are suggesting to import MS diagrams as AOO Charts, then this a request for enhancement, not a issue.

Agree with Ariel, change the issue type to Enhancement. Also change the title
