Chart column borders inconsistent

[jjosey]

See here: http://puu.sh/j7hkE/20f316e370.png

This is a stacked column, with 4 series, the bottom one is transparent to give the "floating" effect, the other 3 series all have exactly the same settings for the border (0.75pt solid blue line) -- however as you can see clearly the bottom section is both fuzzy and off-centre. There are no effects (glow, shadow etc). I have many charts like this one, but only this series of this chart is acting strangely. Why would this be happening? Any ideas?

Many thanks.

No file (workbook) - no precise answer
But try selecting chart then from chart tools - design select one of predefined styles (if possible - close to expected final effect) and finally apply your favourite formatting.

Unfortunately the data source is rather convoluted, and the data itself sensitive so not something I'm willing to share.

Changing the predefined style, then re-applying my settings did the trick, but that almost bothers me even more! What could I have missed that was causing the blurriness? Or is it simply a bug?

Thanks

Glad my "use bigger hammer" solution helped.
As for the cause - was the graph type stacked bar from the creation, or may be at some point of time it was other type - line, scatter etc?
Of course you could replace real data with some dummy, but probably it is not worth it.
