Pie chart is displaying wrong data

screen recording of widget fail

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add the CPU/Memory/Network widget on Desktop, go to widget's Customize Layout, change it to Line Chart.
2. The line chart legend's text doesn't align left and right for columns until it is squeezed.
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
The widget overhaul might be consistent with the design language the devs were going ahead with, but this has broken a perfect thing for choice.
Doing this also results in the Plasma to crash.

EXPECTED RESULT

macOS:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I agree that the display of the legend is not optimal. It's shortened unnecessarily when there's enough horizontal space to show all the text. This is especially the case with the Network Activity and Memory Usage widgets

Pie chart is displaying wrong data

I've added an attachment to also show the Pie chat, how it's displaying the graph and percentage wrong.

Not sure if this is the same problem, but in
kdeplasma-addons-5.22.4-1.fc34.x86_64
my KDE 'Individual Core Usage' widget works ok with bar charts, but the Line Charts seem to display nothing.
This feature has been broken all during Fedora 34.
Comment 4 Arjen Hiemstra 2021-09-02 12:06:18 UTC
The original issues have been resolved by now as far as I can tell.

@David Please open a new issue, it does not seem related to this.
