Previously, in "Add widget > Metrics & graphs", selecting a service metric and then immediately clicking a visualization type could leave the wizard on the "Data selection" step. A red "Must select an option" appeared under the metric field although the field visibly showed the metric just selected. The error cleared itself a moment later, but the wizard still did not move on -- only clicking the visualization type a second time advanced it.

This happened when the click followed the selection more quickly than the site took to look up the metric's display name, which is a few hundred milliseconds on a busy site or a large installation.

The wizard now advances on the first click regardless of the timing.
