So my report is creating a chart and ive seen it drawing random lines over the chart from the start point of the graph, in my report viewer flicking off and back onto the preview screen shows my data which is correct to SQL but a random line/lines from the start point which changes everytime its ran. What could this be? ![example1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/6/46034f335bf816ba17c3df6e51e77564db82cf0d.png) ![example2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/4/e4b1c030cc90dd866b833d151f5f3dae02c157a2.png) ![example3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/5/b5eef2e93ec5a2d0d281761e147fff2e123c1ac6.png) ---

Does this only happen on a single machine? Do the lines show up if you export the report as a PDF? I've been weird behavior in Jfreechart if there's issues with the machine's display/drivers. ---

Im only currently running it on one machine via the vision client, but also happens when i run through the designer on my development PC. Its on alot of my charts that have been created which i export as PDFs to a blob server and pull from a web client to view. (Phils Stuff) ---

Huh. You are blazing a trail here. Probably should open a support ticket. ---
