Chart only plots one data point after installing MS11-072

In addition to the two other side effects to installing MS11-072 (https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2553091) , as mentioned in the previous blog, there is yet another issue - this time with charts.

There is a workaround for this problem, though not a permanent solution as yet. To work around the problem, right click the horizontal axis and click 'Format Axis'.
