Bug: The bar fill partially overlaps the axis

Problem: Graphs created using Prism 6 or 7 Mac showing both bars and points, then opened using Prism Windows, show a bar fill that goes too low, partly overlapping the X axis. This is apparent in the green bar:

To fix this problem, follow these steps:

  1. Drop the Change menu, and choose Graph Type.
  2. Choose 'Column Bar Graph'. This choice  is the leftmost choice. This choice will remove the display of individual values as points. Don't worry, you'll get them back. 
  3. Save the file. 
  4. Close the file. 
  5. Open the file. 
  6. Drop the Change menu, and choose Graph Type.
  7. Choose 'Scatter plot with bar'
  8. You may have to choose the bar fill color again.

Now the bar fill will look as it should stopping at the axis and no longer cover up part of the axis.
