Click on bar in barchart not reliable

Hello!

When selecting bars on a barchart by clicking on them, like this:

I often (~40% of the time) have to click a bar twice for it to get selected. What's up with that? How can I solve it? It's confusing my users so much, they're clicking, see that nothing happens, and go on without understanding that they just have to.. try again?

Here's a screen recording, you can see the clicks where the label flickers but nothing else happens:

This is the bar chart component with mock data as it comes, nothing changed. Happens with my production data as well.

Hey @Lychee

I'm encountering this issue in my Retool app as well.

Hello @Lychee,

Apologies for the issue, I just tested this out and was able to reproduce this.

I am going to file a bug report for this right now and update this thread with any news I hear from the engineer team :+1:

Is there any update on this?

Hey @Lychee - there hasn't been any official work done on this ticket, as far as I can tell, but I'm not able to reproduce the behavior in the app that Jack shared internally. Are you still unable to select columns consistently? If so, there might be some sort of race condition at play that is hardware and/or network dependent.
