It is specific to your window manager.  I'll bet you have the same
trouble with the formula guru.  I just committed a minor glade tweak
that your WM appears to honour.

Hmm works as I expect them to.
A  1
B  2
C  3
Shows category labels A, B, C for bar/col.  Can you give me a more
specific example ?

It needs to be in the manual until we can figure out how to handle

we still need some thought on how to handle things smoothly while
selected.
