Chart Series: --- Delphi / C++ Builder RAD IDE Version:

Description yeray alonso 2018-12-20 04:42:41 EST 
Steps to reproduce the error:

- Drop a TChart to the form
- Open the design time "Options" through the contextual menu.
  - Make sure "GDI" is selected as "Render" at the "New Chart" tab.
- Add this code at OnCreate:

  Chart1.Tools.Add(TLegendPaletteTool);

You don't need any series on the chart.

- Run and move the mouse over the chart.

A workaround could be to set "GDI+" as "Render" at the "New Chart" tab in the design time "Options", and then set the Chart to use GDI:

  Chart1.Canvas:=TTeeCanvas3D.Create;

Cannot reproduce. 
Changes in recent versions should have fixed this issue.
