When I set the interval to monthly or yearly on a date histogram (vertical bar) visualization, the x-axis seems to ignore limits set in the timepicker and the labels behave erratically (labels don't respect the "filter labels" option, labels repeat if not enough buckets are present)

Is there any way to make the axis and labels behave consistently? Thank you.
