Post From: Charts time axis position being reset after minimizing

It should definitely not be moving the bars when a new bar is added.

If the most current bar is in the middle of the graph area and a new bar is added, that new bar should be placed to the right of the previous most recent bar. And so on. So it will fill to the right.

Although, there is the following setting that changes this behavior:
General Settings Window: Allow New Data In Unlocked Fill Space (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Charts)

But in either case, the bars should not "jump" to the right hand side when a new bar is added.

If you are still seeing this, then please get us a "before" and "after" set of images where you have the chart initially set and then after the bars move to the right. Follow these instructions for how to get us an image:
