Error when using timeline with many (15) rows

[Chris Bandy]

When using the Timeline chart with 15 rows of data, the chart does not display. There are no errors in the console. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Here's a fiddle that fails. Commenting out line 30 (data row 15) allows the chart to display properly: http://jsfiddle.net/AMGD5/

Thanks!

It seems to have something to do with the width of the container. I've set the container to a fixed width in an update: http://jsfiddle.net/AMGD5/1/

What browser are you testing in?  Your first example works fine in Chrome, but the setting the container width to "15em" causes the second example to fail.

I suspect that the API is calculating some minimum width for each bar and if the container width is less than the width required to fit all of the bars, the chart throws an error.  Could someone on the dev team comment on this?

Aha! I was finally able to duplicate this problem! 

This is a known (fixed) bug that has to do with the way that we are determining which units and values to use for the horizontal axis. This bug is hyper-sensitive to the width of the chart which is why I was unable to duplicate it until I used Drew's 15em trick. 

As a work-around, I suggest that you change the version number in the google.load statement from "1" to "1.1". This will get you our about-to-be-shipped version. In the meantime, I'll verify that this is indeed the problem, and see about cherry-picking the fix. 

Let me know if you continue to have problems, and keep an eye out for the release announcement.
