Inner padding / spacing / category width of Stacked Column Chart changed??

Question

hi all, I have a PowerBI report with two line chart visuals overlaid on a stacked column chart, with DateTime on the X-axes (Continuous) of both visuals. You can see the report live here: https://ahdb.org.uk/sclerotinia

When I refreshed my data today, suddenly the 'inner padding' / spacing of the columns increased which reduces the strength of the colour signal I want to convey. I've tried to change it but as long as DateTime is set to Continuous (which I want it to be), I can't find a way. Does anyone know why it has changed and if / how to restore??

Many thanks, Bastiaan

hi,&nbsp;BastiaanBrak&nbsp;
For the visual in my side works well, for example, you try to click on this&nbsp;area

and another case, if when it refreshed on that day, the data on that data is not&nbsp;complete.
For example:
On Mar 31, there should be 24 columns, but on that day, there could be less than it after refreshed.
You can see that, for two screenshots, The width of each day is the same.
&nbsp;
In a word,&nbsp;This is an attempt at guessing from screenshot, if not your case, could share the pbix file with this issue for us have a test?
Do mask sensitive data before uploading.

hi,&nbsp;BastiaanBrak&nbsp;
Based on my test, it seems that&nbsp;'inner padding' / spacing of the columns don't increase, if you have do an interaction in the stacked column chart.
For example:

hi&nbsp;v-lili6-msft, not sure what you mean with "if you have an interaction in the stacked column chart" and can't replicate it. Could you clarify please what you are doing to get first screenshot?&nbsp;Thanks, Bastiaan

hi,&nbsp;BastiaanBrak&nbsp;
For example: If you click on the&nbsp;Stacked Column Chart and select one field based on&nbsp;Stacked Column Chart not line chart.

v-lili6-msft&nbsp;I'm stumped; whatever I try, no interaction with the stacked column chart changes the column widths whatsoever. I'd like to understand if I'm not doing what you are doing or if the visual is behaving differently on your machine than mine??
