Multiple issues with standard and custom legends

[Ozzard]

Chart FX 7 for WinForms with statistics extensions - so I think I'm in the right forum, but please redirect me if required :-).

I'm trying to create a histogram chart (with multiple series, possibly each with its own histogram) by putting data straight into it, rather than data binding.  Code is Listing 1 at the end.

Problem 1: The legend is initially displayed correctly, but the series names revert to "Series 1", "Series 2" etc as soon as I do anything using the Chart FX toolbar.  If I turn on bin counts via code, the labels stay intact.  If I click the toolbar button to show counts, the labels are changed (and there's sometimes a display glitch as well).

Problem 2: To bypass this, I've tried creating custom legend items and setting the Visible item attribute for the built-in series to false (Listing 2).  The custom items are (correctly) displayed, and the standard items are (correctly) hidden.  However, the border around the legend is (incorrectly) sized for all the legend items, including the invisible ones.

Problem 3: To get round that little lot, I've tried telling the legend to autosize, then resizing it based on the automatically-calculated size.  Except that the size isn't calculated until display time, so the height I read is always 0px.

Ideally, I would like:
1) A way of preventing the series names reverting.
2) If there's no way of doing 1, a way of getting the border of the legend box to surround only the visible legend items.
3) If there's no way of doing 1 or 2, a way of setting the height that doesn't make assumptions about Chart FX's internal constants such as the height of a legend box item.

All ideas welcome.
