In Excel 2007 chart with multiple lines, mouse doesn't track lines
If I open an Excel 2003 x-y scatter line chart with multiple (x,y) line
graphs (or open a graph that was saved under Excel 2007), and I move the mouse over the various lines (some of them may be close to each other) then there is an x 'offset' in the location of the mouse and when Excel recognizes a line graph and displayes the line title with a little message underneath the mouse cursor. Another way to explain thsi behaviour is if you try to click at a particular line graph, it may not select it, it may select a different line graph that is located left to where the mouse is. This is very agonzing when trying to analyze data, which I and my collegues need to do. Excel 2007 is therefore almost useless to us. Also if you, e.g., try to change the color or appearance of the line, you may not be able to select it easily. It is as if the internal coordinates of the chart area are not tracked properly to the mouse coordinates when the mouse moves over the chart area. Possibly both the x and y coordinates have an 'offset'. I have update to the service pack 2. Are there further Excel-only updates available? |

You may have to recreate the charts in Excel 2007.
