Appending data files does not work correctly with open chart windows

If you have a chart window open on a particular statistic from a file, and you append another data file to this file, the existing chart windows is not updated, and you cannot view the combined statistics in a new chart window - the statistics are incorrect.  You must close all chart windows that involve the original statistics before valid statistics lines can be viewed.

The exception is when the second, appended file is being actively updated and auto update is on.  In this case, open charts are updated with new data.

Workaround

Close all open Chart windows before appending a data file.
