If I attempt to drag and drop elements of a list in perspective -- here, I am using a slightly modified version of the data from the time series chart, although it exists with other components.

My data looks as such.

I then drag the 9th element such that it is above the 8th element.

Doing so, I get the following graphical error:

Clicking off of the component, and then back on, fixes the issue.

Seems like a minor graphical bug.

They'll probably want you to submit this on the actual feedback / bug report page

I was under the impression that that site was for feature requests, while this forum was more apt to discuss bugs?

Makes sense. None of the issues I've encountered are so massive that they're a serious issue to the business, just little pet peeves that I wanted to flag
