Best Of

I'm seeing a weird behavior I'm trying to make sense of, and I'm hoping someone here might have some insight.

I should start by saying that if I load up the samples Charting examples in linqpad 5 or 6 and run them things work fine. The charts display and everything is as expected. The behavior described below happens in both of the most recent versions of linqpad 5 and 6.

I recently created a linqpad doc that connected to an influxdb instance, fetched a set of data through a query, turned it into a list of anonymous records, and then I tried to chart it with a fairly simple .Chart() and .Dump() call. The behavior I see is that the chart is displayed, no errors are shown, but then just a few brief moments later, the chart tab clears to a default background.

DumpInline() works fine. And .Dump() works fine in the simpler cases shown in the samples where the data is all local arrays.

I don't think I missed anything in the documentation about how to use chart, but I'm hoping someone will point out what I am doing wrong.

EDIT I just found something that may help explain something. I ran this one last time, this time as a non maximized window (I was thinking of capturing it as a gif to include here), and saw the same thing as before, the chart content disappears. But then I moved the linqpad window and the chart is there - floating on my desktop behind the linqpad instance. This is starting to smell like a bug, and not user error - has anyone else seen this?

I don't know if it matters but this is all being done through a remote desktop session as I can't access the influxdb from where I am. I have a vague memory of rdp having an effect on how graphics operations are carried out, at least in the distant past.

The document in question looks like the below:
