Bug: Advanced Timeline Bar Chart Doesn't Match Timeline Date Line
Been testing; the bug in the timeline text box seems gone. On a Mac M1 and .0240 version.
This bug I would class as minor (ergo no caps in 'bug'). See below; hard to screen copy. The bottom horizontal bar chart and it's little scroller are trying for 49bc > 192ad (the maximum for 'Paul'). And the top horizontal data line is 30bc to 20ad. In between, 'Paul' labels are just beginning to show (approx 45ad). Actually 'Paul' doesn't display at all for the bar chart maximum count.
I assume the lower bar chart consists of large fixed chunks of time, and the user (me) has narrowed to it NT time. In doing so, the bar handle is pretty much 'not there' .... using the bar chart bars don't 'work.'
Again, not critical.

This is intentional. The bar at the bottom has a minimum size in order to allow it to remain usable. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to accurately grab the correct handle.

Oh, I don't doubt that. But it looks pretty stupid in Bible class (the 'stupid' part meaning reflects negatively). You click on the big 'Paul' bar, and there's no Paul. And?
(You don't need to belabor; appreciate the followup).
I think I'm not understanding what you are trying to do, because your comment doesn't make sense to me. Could you give me a clearer set of steps as to what you are doing and what is going wrong?

Ok, but this can't be major.
I. I open the Advanced Timeline. It has some sort of time period and a whole bunch of events.
2. I type in Paul (which also includes, not just the apostle, but later 'Paul's').
3. I select from 'Fit', the Early Church Period, to better space 'Paul the Apostle'
4. Seeing the bar chart at the bottom, I click on the largest bar
5. And see the screen below. No Paul, and the time periods don't overlap (one small; one large). Selecting the bars is meant to?
