When editing Axis information on the Perspective Power Chart component I am unable to clear the Input field for the `Axis Name` prior to entering new text. It won't allow deletion of the last remaining character and wont allow selection of multiple characters.

The simple work-around is to add your desired text, then delete the character that could not be deleted earlier.

_[Update] the same applies when editing the the `Name` for a pen._

Summary:

- Multicharacter selection (mouse click and drag or cursor or shift+arrows) does not work  
_[Update] It appears multi-character selection does work, but the selection is not presented visually on screen by highlighting the selected characters as would be typically expected of a user interface._
- Character deletion stops working when one character remains, it won't let the user delete all characters

Relates to: Ignition Version 8.1.18 Perspective Power Chart Component

If there is a better/preferred way to submit bug reports let me know.

Taking a look into this development has confirmed this behavior is expected and existed since the Power Chart component was introduced. Those props cannot be left blank/empty as this was implemented to avoid issues with the component.
