Previously, the legend of a graph in a dashboard widget was clipped to roughly two rows. The hidden rows could not be reached, and dragging the widget taller did not enlarge the legend area, so in graphs with many curves most metrics stayed invisible.

The legend now uses the space below the graph and scrolls when there are more entries than fit, and resizing the widget taller enlarges the legend accordingly. In very short widgets, where there is no room for both a usable graph and a legend, the widget now shows the message "Either increase the widget height or disable the graph legend." instead of a clipped, unusable legend.
