Description dabbler2 2008-09-26 19:05:23 UTC 
Given the following 10 cells

 1, 3
 2, 6
 [blank], [blank]
 -1, 4
  3, -2

Excel 2007 will plot this as 2 disconnected line segments.

OpenOffice connects through the blank cells as if they weren't there producing 3
connected line segments.

wrong component, changed to Chart.
Probably a duplicate and IMHO not a defect.

AS fst said, its not a bug its a feature. See issue 65549 for more details.
Comment 3 dabbler2 2008-09-30 14:51:03 UTC 
The approach currently taken is reasonable and logical in its own right. However
if an important objective is Microsoft compatibility in order to leverage that
large market, then a decision to handle this in a substantially different
fashion thwarts MS compatibility.

I would like to use OpenOffice in lieu of MS. Unfortunately this breaks the
compatibility for collaboration I have to deal with.
Comment 4 IngridvdM 2008-09-30 15:01:59 UTC 
The missing feature to choose between different options to handle empty cells is
already implemented for OOo 3.1 with issue 65549.
