SpeedGrader conversion issue `.docx` files containing Excel graphs with fit equations
Summary:
SpeedGrader conversion issue for Excel graphs in .docx files causing certain text annotations to be lost.
Steps to reproduce:
- Copy an Excel graph with a fit equation and R² value into a
.docxfile. - Upload to Canvas.
- Open the document in SpeedGrader.
- Navigate to the graph.
Example .docx file to reproduce:
example_lab_report_with_excel_linear_fit.docx
Expected behavior:
Fit equation and R² value are retained.
Actual behavior:
Fit equation and R² value are missing.
Additional notes:
This does not occur for PDF files, so one workaround is to restrict uploads to exclude .docx files.
Example file to reproduce this issue is attached below.
example_lab_report_with_excel_linear_fit.docx
This bug may require the grader to manually download and inspect each .docx submission. This bug has existed at least since spring 2021 but probably well before that.
