OK. I thought, at first, that the lines would follow the bars in a similar way
regardless of scale type, but your explanation makes it obvious that this is
not possible. Mathematically, I should have known better, too. ;^)

I normally use only one type, but I just had to experiment with this one
chart. That's when I noticed some lines were way out of place.
