The 1 year time axis does not change with the filter #235

Closed thiemowmde closed 4 years ago

thiemowmde commented 4 years ago

By default, I get a graph like this: Screenshot from 2020-08-12 10-59-37

When I open the filters and change the time range to the "Last 60 days", for example, the graph changes like this: Screenshot from 2020-08-12 10-59-50

The data is reloaded and the graph redrawn, but the time range shown is still 1 year. The min and max values of the axis are not set to reflect my new filter selection.

thanks for the observation @thiemowmde . Because this is a design decision, I would like to hear what @rammanoj has to say about this

thiemowmde commented 4 years ago

Hm. I experience this behavior as bogus. The graph is cut off, as if I have no contributions before. That's not correct.

To approach it from another perspective: What's the benefit of picking a range? The only positive effect is that it loads faster. But the graph doesn't become better. It doesn't zoom in. I can't see more details.

You are right @thiemowmde . I think it is still important to hear what others have to say

That's a intresting question @thiemowmde , thanks for asking. @NdibeRaymond I guess it needs an update, can you check if we can alter the timeline even on the graphs based upon the filters that we providing ?
