As 2022-04-08, there is a cosmetic bug occuring with a line charts that displays the legend vertically and to the right together when Series Labels == ON as shown in this screenshot:


ahum.. where is the screenshot button???


I'll try to word it out...


Series Label for one line == Segoe UI Bold 8

Legend text font == default


The last character of the series label is hidden by the Legend area. When series lable not set to bold you can make out the last character.


It is an issue of padding. Would be great if MS could fix this so that there is always enough white space between the end of a series label and whatever legend text might be displayed on the right. Or instead, automatically reposition the series label towards the left and up of its respective line...but.... so perhaps better, this solution:


reposition all series labels to empty spaces on the chart and have a thin line connecting the label to its respective series line. The labels won't be neatly stacked and organized on the right or left of the chart, but so what? When data line density is high on the vertical, at least the user will be able to see the series labels and to which data line they connect to.
