SUMMARY

DETAILS

ORG-19378

Shaded background in worksheet shows in printout exported image or pdf files

Since Origin 2019, we shade unused cells with shaded background. But they should not be shaded in printout or export.

Fixed in Origin 2019b.

ORG-19830

Remove Links in workbook is very slow

For workbook with many links, it could take 30 minutes. In Origin 2019b, it will be done in no time.

ORG-19704

Pulling recursive cell formula over many rows will make Origin crash

In previous version, when pulling a cell formula over many rows (for example 1,000), Origin will crash.

Now we increase the stack size, and introduce a system variable @CFRL (default = 1600) to control the limitation. When exceed the limit, we recommend that you fill formula to F(x) cell of this column instead.

Graphing

JIRA	SUMMARY	DETAILS
ORG-19277	Fail to open Row-wise plot dialog from menu/toolbar in Chinese Origin	Choose Plot:2D: Row-wise menu in Chinese Origin, the dialog failed to open. Workaround in Origin 2019: Open Script window and run plot_rowwise -d
ORG-19490	Failed to edit the bin size of the histogram from Statistics on Columns in 2018b and 2019	In the histogram created by Statistics on Columns tool, bin size couldn't be modified, no matter via Change Parameters dialog or Plot Details dialog.
ORG-19389	Ctrl + double click on label of 3D pie chart crashes Origin	If there is leader line to label and user ctrl+double clicks on a label. Origin crashes. A bug since Origin 2018.
ORG-19435	Wrong 3D tetrahedral plot	In general, for 3D tetrahedron plot: • If 3 of 4 components = zero, you land on a vertex of the tetrahedron • If 2 of 4 components = zero, you end up on a side line of the tetrahedron • If 1 of 4 components = zero, you land on a side surface of the tetrahedron but for now, when Z = 0 (column C = 0), the data point wasn't land on a side surface. Bug in Origin 2019 since this feature was introduced. Fixed in Origin 2019b.
ORG-19500	Wrap Axis Tick Label by layer length failed to work	Bug in Origin 2018 since this feature was introduced. Fixed in Origin 2019b.
ORG-19241	Date/Time Axis issues	In the past, julian date showed in edit boxes on Reference, Breaks and Special Ticks tabs of Axis dialog. Very hard to enter date/time values. In Origin 2019b, date/time edit box shows so much easier to edit date/time. Various date/time axis issues, e.g. failure to round from and to value in 3D graphs, wrong special tick label, failure to specify certain date/time, etc.
ORG-19373	Add too many Special ticks cause trouble	When adding too many special axis tick labels e.g. more than 10, etc., sometimes you will fail to add or delete some special ticks.
ORG-19614	Crash when open some graph window file OGGU made by Virtual Matrix
ORG-19358	Crash after hiding annotated point in 3D Scatter	Since Origin 2018b, if there are special point with annotation in 3D scatter graph and hide the point, Origin crashed. Fixed in Origin 2019b.
ORG-19556	Bins disappear when add axis break in Histogram plot
ORG-15365	Arrowhead is smudged at the edges	Draw an arrow object in Graph Set Line thickness to e.g. 4. Chang arrow line to dash or dot ==> Arrowhead is smudged at the edges on the screen. No issue in print preview or export. The issue started since Origin 2016. Fixed in Origin 2019b.
ORG-19658	Contour profile show partial line after changing scale	New bug since Origin 2018b. In Contour profile graph, if the axis scale is changed, only part of the profile curve shows. Fixed in Origin 2019b.
ORG-19729	Clipping Data to Frame with negative margin will make the points out of the frame lose their error bars	In Plot Details - Layer Properties dialog, if user can set Clipping Margins (%) to negative to show some points outside the axis frame. But error bars failed to show. Fixed in Origin 2019b.

ORG-19822	If common display is enabled for Axis Style, when set Axis "Line and Ticks" position at a fixed value, after the change, the value is converted to % which will cause future issues if user rescale.	The issues starts since Origin 2018b when Common Display feature was introduced. Fixed in Origin 2019b.
ORG-19892	Annotation points to all layers on multi-panel graph	Plot a multi-panel graph such as 4 panel, etc. When adding annotation in one panel, annotation is added to corresponding data in other panels. The issues started since we changed default of these multi-panel templates to have common display in Origin 2019. In Origin 2019b, annotation will be excluded in Common display.
ORG-19252	Error msg shows when create legend for color index plot with partial rows	New bug in Origin 2019. Fixed in Origin 2019b. E.g. plot a scatter graph with part of rows and index the symbol color to another column. Click Ctrl+L to reconstruct legend. It should create categorical legend. But instead, error message Encountered an improper argument showed.

Analysis

JIRA	SUMMARY	DETAILS
ORG-19289	When saving workbook analysis template with Peak Analyzer in Origin2019 and reload, recalculate fails. Note: It also happens if you use the saved template in Batch Process dialog. No issue with existing analysis template with PA made before Origin 2019.	New bug in Origin 2019. Fixed in Origin 2019b. Simple way to reproduce the issue 1. Start a new project. Import \Samples\Curve Fitting\Gaussian.dat 2. Highlight column B to open PA, select Fit Peaks goal, click OK to create result. 4. Save the book as analysis template. 5. New a project and open above analysis template. 6. Activate 1st sheet and import new data. Click Recalculate toolbar button. ==> The FitPeaks sheet has no contains.
ORG-19115	Analysis Template file size Issue	Analysis template file size kept on increasing after being using in Batch Processing. It was because some batch processing settings are saved into analysis template by mistake. Fixed in Origin 2019b.

ORG-19769	For operations that Output is a sheet, Recalculation will wipe out all the operations and create new	E.g. Append multiple sheets into one sheet and plot data from it. If modify data in source sheet and recalculate, plot will be gone. This is because before Origin 2019b, recalculation recreated the output sheet. The issue exists in tools that are used to join data in different sheets, e.g. wjoinbycol and wjoinbylabel. Note: these two tools can be accessed from script window only. wjoinbylabel -d

nlbegin does not work fine when specify weight method

E.g. Import Gaussian.dat under Samples\Curve Fitting\, run script,

nlbegin iy:=(1,2) func:=gauss weight:=3; //3 for method "Arbitrary Dataset (=1/ci^2)" nlfit;
nlend 1 1;
==>?--> It works, but in builds previous IR96Sr0_82, it reports error message "Variable value is not in predefined list, VarName = weight, VarValue = 3".
2. Run with "weight:=6", which for method "Variance ~ a*y^b".
==> Command error, reports "Please select at least one XYRange." 

These issues starts in Origin 2019.
