Error Loading Wig Tracks

IGV version = 2.17.3

I had a saved, properly working tnSeq session with several tracks. I had to reboot and then after reopening the session IGV failed to display the insertion counts (wiggle) tracks (they were just flat lines). I started a new session, beginning with loading a custom genome (fasta and fai) - that diplays the chrom name and sequence OK. 

Trying to load my wiggle files still fails (they 'load' but have no bars for the data). 
The wiggle header reads:

track type=wiggle_0
variableStep chrom=BW30270_norm.fasta
29 50
46 0
64 8
83 2
96 7
101 0

Can you try IGV version 2.17.4 and see if it behaves the same way.
And if it does, can you share with us the log from the IGV run (you'll find the IGV log file in igv folder in your home folder. It will be named something like igv0.log (or igv1.log etc).

Also verify that the sequence name in your fasta file is "BW30270_norm.fasta".     Another thing to check is the data scale for the track.   A screenshot might help here.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I installed 2.17.4, same issue. 
The chrom name in the wig matches the loaded chrom name.
The scale seems OK, is set to 10 here, but highest data are 50.

Your screenshot indicates a fasta sequence name of "BW30270i",  however the wig variable step line in your snippet has a sequence name of "BW30270_norm.fasta".
