--- Comment #4 from Regina Henschel <rb.hensc...@t-online.de> ---
A chart is a document of its own. It could be embedded in a
Writer/Calc/Draw/Impress-document, but it need to be embedded. It could be an
external resource as well, at least from point of ODF.

What you get with a single click on a chart is not the chart itself, but a
frame holding the link-information to the chart. This frame can hold an image
of the chart as well and this frame can have an own text content.

Text formatting is always only active, if you are in edit mode of a text. If
you have made a single click on a chart and then press F2, you are in text edit
mode of the frame and you can enter text and then you have text formatting for
that text. So the expectation is wrong, that a text formatting toolbar should
be active when you click on a chart.

The same chart document can be used in different
Writer/Calc/Draw/Impress-documents, at least ODF allows it. So any kind of
relation to information of the carrying document is only meaningful, if you
restrict it to cases, where the chart document is embedded.

Current implementation of chart documents do not use styles at all, but all
formatting is done as direct formatting. The styles.xml file inside the chart
document is a dummy file. Therefore before thinking about how to get a style
information from the carrying document to the chart document, I would focus on
implementing of styles inside chart documents.

If this bug is kept as request for a back-reference to the styles of the
carrying document, it needs a dependency to bug 62925. That is the bug that
handles the requests for implementing styles in chart documents.

Eyal, are you sure you want such back-reference or does not already bug 62925
and its duplicates cover your request of being able to use styles in chart
documents?
