Hi,

We are using TeeChart of 4.2020.5.25 version, but the same problem is also reproducible on 2015 version and more recent one, used in TeeChartOffice demonstration executable.

To reproduce the crash:
- Set the legend position to Top or Bottom;
- Make it Inverted;
- Add Legend Scrollbar tool;
- Add enought data to see the scrollbar. The more the better (the slider should take less than half of available spaced).
- Scroll to the right until crash occurs.

We also noticed that when legend is inverted, scrolling step is doubles - slider is moved by legend items instead of 1.

Here is the call stack:
TeeChart.dll!Steema.TeeChart.Legend.DrawLegendItem(int ItemIndex, int ItemOrder) Unknown
> TeeChart.dll!Steema.TeeChart.Legend.DrawItems() Unknown
TeeChart.dll!Steema.TeeChart.Legend.Paint(Steema.TeeChart.Drawing.Graphics3D g, System.Drawing.Rectangle rect, bool doDraw, bool doCalc) Unknown

TeeChart.dll!Steema.TeeChart.Chart.InternalDraw(System.Drawing.Graphics g, bool noTools) Unknown

System.Windows.Forms.dll!System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmPaint(ref System.Windows.Forms.Message m) Unknown
System.Windows.Forms.dll!System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(ref System.Windows.Forms.Message m) Unknown
System.Windows.Forms.dll!System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.DebuggableCallback(System.IntPtr hWnd, int msg, System.IntPtr wparam, System.IntPtr lparam) Unknown

I attached the project file of everything preconfigured. To reproduce a crash, simply drag the scrollbar slider to the right.

Is there any workaround possible to avoid it? The ones I found are:
- Switch-off the legend inversion;
- Place the legend right or left.
But our customer isn't pleased with such suggestion and wants a permanent fix.

Maybe I can set some properties to implicitly avoid the exception without changing the functional behavior?

Thanks,
Taras
