In TSVB bars/columns are not centered around the time point it represents. This is very misleading for the end user. If you hover over a bar, the legend can display numbers from a different bar.

Also, if you have one line and bars in a diagram it loogs wierd.

Example:

I am hovering with the mouse where you see the black line (see arrow). However the numbers in the legend is from the bar to the right of the one I am hovering over.

I haven't found any other posts about this. Is this a bug and should it be reported as a github-issue? The chart in the example can't be used in the current state becasue it is so misleading.

Thanks for any feedback on this issue 🙂

Edit: Should also add the I am running version 6.5.0

From what I can tell the bar is drawn from the data point displayed in the line chart towards the right. You can add an issue for this here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues)
