I want to make a chart. I specify the line color and the area color. However, only the area color gets shown. There are no lines. How do I fix this?

You forgot to attach the file.
Thanks.

There is a related bug report, but not the same: 135823 – unable to unset chart border-color

You can set a single colour border for the bars which would be useful with pastel shades and BW printers.
Try doing that with a stacked chart with 15 entries. It’s extremely cumbersome. You need to select every data series and change it’s style.
When did the default of having borders around the chart elements change? In StarOffice they were still there:

Thanks, here is my report: 161713 – Chart doesn't respect line color setting
I guess it has to do with the fact, that at some point LibreOffice didn’t show the line by default anymore. This is supposedly more modern, as MSO also got rid of lines around bars. But for printing, lines are still better, as they prevent fuzzy edges, when the printer is rasterizing the colors, e.g., halftones or their simulation.
