Post From: "trades per bar" Bar Period Type doesn't work for small numbers?

in chart settings, when i set the Bar Period Type to "trades per bar" and then set the # to something small like "2" (2 trades per bar), my NumberBars chart has lots of empty space.
However, for this chart type, i should only see an entry when there is a trade (minimum volume threshold is set to zero) and that volume should show up as a cell with the volume traded at the price traded.
I have added the volume study to my chart....which seems to show that volume is trading, but for portions of the chart, the Number bars section of the chart is empty?

i'm using version 1842 32-bit

I'm doing this to populate and backtest a strategy and i need tick level data (hence, trades per bar is a very small number)
