Description sandra pazos 2016-11-07 08:18:51 EST

When is added a map series in design time, concretely, if is chosen countries map series, appears some problems. I have detailed these below:
-	The series take long to load, sometimes the IDE is blocked. 
-	The series isn’t saved correctly, always the series disappears or is modified.
You can reproduce the second problem following the steps below: 
1. Creates a new project
2. Places a TChart control on the form
3. Uses the chart editor to add a Japan map series
4. Saves the project and closes Delphi. 
5. Open the project again. The series appears modified.

The problems don’t appear in run time or if you add the series by code. In other words, if you execute the application the problem isn’t shown.

About locked ide, I think this happens because the "Structure window" is visible while loading a map series. The series has a list of polygons, and when the list is long it seems the ide takes a long time to refresh the Structure pane.

What does it mean "modified" ? Do you have an screenshot? At design time the series shows random colors if its not connected to a datasource, and when reloading it again it might show empty as there is no data associated via Series1.DataSource properties
