No, that's not the problem

It's very easy to reproduce it (and I did on several PCs).
Please have a look and you'll see

Is it possible that one of the bars is on the secondary axis?

While changing from xlBar into xlStackedBar the chart changes very strange.
If I change back all is OK again.

Task Start Finish
Task 1 13-Oct-09 17-Nov-09
Task 2 10-Nov-09 10-Mar-10
Task 3 01-Oct-09 01-Oct-09

I select all 3 columns and create a Bar chart from the menu. All OK
(for each task 2 bars appear, 'finish' being longer)

If I now change the charttype into StackedBar
the (each !) 'Start' bar will occupy the same size like the (each !)
'Finish' bar and will be visibible right in front of (or 'covering half of
the ) 'Finish' bar.

Any idea why it happens and how I can correct it
