**Versions** (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser): OSD - latest version **Describe the issue** : When the dashboard is loaded it does not show any legend. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/4/42056722139ea737d55eb558df11513c4f33810c.png) when a filter is applied and it has no data in the bar visualization then it shows no results. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/3/3226ff674c37fec606b1ef364f32cd9fcc6a4a2e.png) Now after the filter is removed. the visualization shows the legend. This should not happen. It should hide the legend. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/e/e5a5529fb358893eb79b905dadd624adee00331b.png) ---

@tejashu Try enabling `Show tooltip` in the visualisation settings. It worked for me. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/4/432ed86e5568d8a31810e9663234ace93fdcdbc5.png) ---

Hi, I have the same issue. The legend shows only after filter is applied. Show tooltip is already enabled in my case: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/5/521857803411a42052f90239092ee6c8b534abe7.png) Initial load no legend appears: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/7/71e23c8d9277fc87905d006eb59d88d87f8d621a.png) Apply filter: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/5/51084e3855648d37ed9bcbaa5b351cf36dd3f2cd.png) remove filter and legend appears: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/f/fe8dea7b24c7b7a9d3f27acc352adb62e125ffd9.png) Second issue is with resizing of the chart- Initial load: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/5/5b5530c0f13393396025f47fb87fec93d15cfee8.png) Toggling of legend works fine and removing the legend resizes the chart: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/8/87708218c2e5267f3879a918b7783d52203052df.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/6/67a0b2662c303aeeef61d410fafb59e3a700c1f7.png) Apply filter and remove the filter legend appears( like we saw in the first issue): ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/0/00bf89df551370ffe51a4087b75c7be6287202ec.png) Now toggling the legend does not resize the chart. legend disappears but does not resize the chart: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/5/5b2a833ebf2ad6ee613a727b7e07bbbbb24c3393.png) Looks like the issues start happening only after applying filters. Can you please look into this? ---

@Sinchana, I’ve used your OSD config and tested with 3.2.0 and 3.6.0. I also used Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. I couldn’t reproduce this issue. The legend is always present. I’ve noticed that you’re using proxy authentication. Does your proxy make any additional header filtering? Was this ever working for you?
