okay, this one is slightly enfuriating and when i change to a pie style graph it works just fine.

We are placing a graph in our companies internal marketing material about our annual giving campaign. We are trying to get to a level of giving where our CEO will take a pie in the face if we reach a certain threshold of individual contribution. the graph is a simple 2 point percentage labelled Progress, and Remaining to hit this threshold.

at the current point of 24/73 participants, we are at 83% of the "pie in the face" threshold. the graph looks like this:

the moment I go to 25/73 participation, the graph looks like this:

When I convert to a pie graph, it works just fine. what am I missing about how stacked bar graphs interpolate the data they are pointed at?
