"Container height is zero. Expecting a valid height" error when I add any chart to spread sheet on Google Drive. I am not only facing this issue when I create a new document, previously working charts on spread sheets are also giving this error. This also does not allow to make any changes to charts. 

Attached is screen shot.

I'm getting this error too. But...

So far it's only happening when I try to create a time line Trend chart based off Google Analytics. I think this has been going on for about 2 weeks because existing Trend charts have not been displaying on google sites since last week. I tried creating a new chart based on the google analytics plug-in (the old ones were based on the Magic Script), but I am getting the "Container height is zero. Expecting a valid height" error.

Note that I *can* create a different kind of chart from this data, like a Line chart or Area chart.

Hello everyone, I'm looking into this. So far, I have been able to reproduce this issue in docs with the AnnotatedTimeLine. Are there other charts that are affected?

I'm seeing the same issue with the Trendline graph (flash-based interactive line graph).  Oddly enough if I select "Show Revisions" the graph appears normally, but I still can't edit or delete it.

I think you mean the Trend/Time Line chart, which is the AnnotatedTimeLine chart. Have you seen this issue with any of the other charts?

Having this same problem too. Only "Time line" charts seem to be affected.

Only seen the issue on AnnotatedTimeLine - other charts I've tried have been OK.

Same bug, found a solution, don't know if it will work for you: you place your mouse on the bottom left corner of the chart until it switch to a double arrow, then you extend the graph width a bit and bam your graph is back.

Hi everyone, you can consider this bug as having been reported to Google. We are now aware of this bug and have a fix ready. It should be deployed in a week or two assuming all goes well.
