Default Why Color Flled Data Series on Line Chart Slants

I have a modified line chart showing cumulative product cost over a twelve
month period. The x-axis shows each month, and the data line moves right and
up increasing with the cumulative total for the months. Right now, the first
six months are actual and second six months are projected. Each side is
color filled (using Format Data Series Fill Effects) and there is a vertical
line showing the separation. For some reason the color fill and vertical
line are slanting, indicating different month points between the data line
and the x axis. Any idea what might be causing this and/or how to fit it?
