Hey there, don't know, if this is already known, but I encounter a bug in the legend of visualizations in 6.5.4 of kibana. I have just a visualization with legend: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/2/62c98a07935837011b849f0ec80c067ea70df704.png) If I click on one legend entry the legend should get unfolded, that I can filter for or against one of the entries and that I can pick the colors. It works fine, as long as the unfolded legend fits into the space of the visualization. If it dont' the legend flickers and collapses again. If I switch to fullscreen and the legend has enough room to unfold, it works as expected. Can you reproduce? If so, please fix it. Thanks, Andreas ---

Certainly sounds like a bug, but I don't quite understand what you mean about the legend fitting or not fitting in the space. Would you mind posting this as a [bug on our issue tracker](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Bug_report.md)? What you have here is a sufficient explanation, except for a little clarity on the space part. If you can create a gif showing the issue, that would be even better, but isn't a requirement. ---

Sorry for my long delay for answering, was busy on another project. With space I mean the following: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/7/87b24612935394b8f31969881369a70b9ca3de4f.png) The blue box is the available space for the legend. It is inidirectly sized by the y size of the visualization. When I click on a legend entry, kibana will expand the shown text to the full text (full length), will show the magnifying glasses for include / exclude filtering and it will show the color dots to change the color. If that new legend context needs more space / more pixels than the blue box provides, I got this error I mentioned. I can create a bug next week. Currently I have no access to the elastic stack where the error is occurring. ---

OK, I think I understand what you're saying now. That interface should scroll so you can get to all the labels. It works for me in master (which is more or less 7.0). ![Mar-11-2019%2015-29-56](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/0/d09fcf65aa670c71263569d8962c087d2f12a64c.gif) Maybe it was broken in 6.5.4, I haven't tried standing up that version of the stack. ---
