Strange issue. This seems appear only with french localization.

The problem is, that it is not possible to select the "chart". You have actually selected the "Chart Wall". You can observe it, when you traverse the chart objects by the tab-key and look at the status bar. Compare it with an older version, for example an OOo3.1. The selection "Chart" contains the axes too, and therefore its green handles are left from the y-axis. The selection "Chart Wall" contains only the background of the coordinate system. I don't know yet, why the selection "Chart" is missing.
Additional remark: The "Chart Area" is only the background of the whole chart (including legend and titles). It does not contain something but is only a rectangle. Therefore it never has contained the data series. Look at the status bar to get the right names of the selected objects.
Bonjour, It seems the problem is the name of the sheet. Change it and the copy is possible. It's like the default name of first sheet in french ("Feuille1") make the copy of the data not possible. Tittle, Axis name, ...are ok. Just the content of the data area is empty. (...in writer, calc, impress and draw)
@Regina: not a select problem for me With Win7 Pro x64, this is not appeared I confirm Sharo's comment. The sheet's name in french "Feuille1" _is_ the issue. Try to rename it and you can paste chart correctly.
I have same kind problem with AOO340m1 in Windows Vista Finnish localization. I used to copy (Ctrl+C) selected chart from Calc to Draw and then export it to png or gif image file (not yet find out how to do it from Calc direct). Now it gives me no diagrams (but canvas heading etc). Sheet name is Taulukko1. If I change it Kuvaajia1 it works! Wunderbar. Terveisin Risto
This issue still occurs with 3.4.1
@Regina: I thinke the "Chart area" in oooforum's description means the Chart object. Sharo is right, changing the default sheet name can avoid the issue. And it seems a regression defect. The same scenario works on OO3.1(on WinXP), OO3.3(on MacOSX10.7).
I have exactly the same issue on Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) American English and Windows Vista Pro 32 bit American English. The current solution is (as mentioned by others): 1. Create a chart 2. Exit the Edit mode for the chart (by clicking outside of the chart area) 3. Change the sheet name (for example "q" instead of "Sheet1"). 4. Click (once) on the chart to select it. 5. Use copy (Menu Edit->Copy, Control-C or Command-C). 6. Switch to Draw, Impress, or Writer. 7. Use paste function (Menu Edit->Paste, Control-V, or Command-V). The issue occurs in AOO 3.4.0 and AOO 3.4.1

Seems to be the same problem as in bug 118840.
hello, The issue occurs in AOO 400m2 Rev 1489073 2013-06-03 (US) The current solution is to change the sheet name (for example "Feuillet1" instead of "Sheet1") but I prefer save a New Template with this new name and set it as Default Template... Note : New small bug : Menu > File > Templates > Organize... Template Management : all icons are as an "Text Document" and not as "Spreadsheet" No problem with the icons in Menu > File > New > Templates and Documents
I got this work in AOO4 build 9701, but for some reason it took me several tries. The chart stays in the new Writer doc just fine evna without a name. Linux 32 bit, en-US.
