Re: Customize Chart needs love before release

[Adrian Custer <acuster gnome org>]

Hey,

Sorry you are taking negatively to my tone. I'm probably going too
quickly. 

So you seem to be aware that with a mouse drag, I can drag the chart to
Y=199.3%. To a naive user, it sure looks like I lost my chart to the
point that even on the spreadsheet, it's invisible. If that's what you
want, great.
