Hello, I am getting the error in the screenshot, can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this?  
It's a dashboard that worked from 5.6.x to 6.0 and nothing changed, aside from the ELK version (6.2.1)

The error text did not show any hints when I searched.

```auto
Uncaught TypeError: xScale.domain(...)[1].getTime is not a function (http://10.xx.xx.171:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16573:6)

Error: Uncaught TypeError: xScale.domain(...)[1].getTime is not a function (http://10.xx.xx.171:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16573:6)
    at window.onerror (http://10.16.172.171:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=16573:1:496140)

```

Update: I found the specific visualization that caused the error. It's a date field that I used as a bucket, but instead of data-histogam I used terms, and sorted and chose last X terms.

It always worked, not sure why it doesn't work now.

Once I changed the bucket to date histogram (it was terms) then the error was gone.  
Problem solved, but I don't understand why would 6.2.1 have a problem with a bucket that is a term --\> date

Yes I can reproduce it. As soon as I return the bucket to terms --\> date I get an error.  
Issue opened [here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/16825).

Screenshot here. If I hit the "run" triangle I get the error.  
(see error below the screenshot)
