Hello, I'm noticing an issue on the XYChart and wondering if there is a solution.  
As the amount of data increases, the y-axis labels start to behave weirdly when a user selects.  
At first, some of them flicker. Then some start to disappear, which causes the graph to widen.  
Once there's enough data, all of the labels are disappearing when a selection is made.

Number of rows and symptoms I see:  
383: no issues  
837: columns 4-9, labels flicker, columns 1-3 labels are normal  
1190: columns 3-9, labels disappear and the graph stretches. columns 1-2 labels are normal  
1453: same as above  
3263: columns 2-9, labels disappear and the graph stretches. column 1 label is normal  
4124: for all columns, labels disappear and the graph stretches

There was also a lot of lag each time until I added a value to yAxes[0]\>appearence\>font\>size  
I think when it's empty it's dynamic. Putting a number here or even making it psuedo-dynamic with a binding seemed to improve performance.
