No bars displayed when zooming in to short time range

[idooley]

When I zoom in really far, the histogram stops showing any bars, even when data is present for the selected time range.

For example I have the following time range:

time must
field : @timestamp
from : "2013-11-15T19:29:35.552Z"
to : "2013-11-15T19:29:38.342Z"

The histogram does not show any bars, even though it reports values like "(18)" and "(16)" for the two searches and "(34 hits)" for the total entries. The table shows the textual representation of the 34 events.

This occurs in Chrome Version 28.0.1500.95 m and Firefox 17.0.8 on Windows.

I see the same issue in Firefox on Ubuntu 13.04, running kibana master.

I'm also encountering the same issue with Kibana 3 milestone 4. Time intervals of less than 5 seconds being plotted on the graph will result in no bars displaying, e.g. 21:53:34 to 21:54:30. Lines and points get displayed when bars do not. I've tested with the current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE11.

Is this a bug or merely a limitation? I'd love if Kibana could simply switch from bars to lines for small time intervals.
