i wanted to use memory trace tool in devtools and stumbled upon these issues

  1. (see video) chart sometimes does not correspond with memory values. on the video see on the graphics parameter, but if i recall correctly, i also saw other showing this behavior - this is applicable to both debug and profile modes
  2. (see video) yellow selection bar position is starting to drawn incrorrectly after the chart fills the screen entirely, but numbers are shown "correctly". to speed up the reproduction process you can zoom in the page
  3. bar position should be drawn immediately after click. currently it feels really undersponsive and makes you feel really uncomfortable during its usage
  4. it's really hard to distungish different parameters on chart
  5. legend colors do not match colors on chart:
    • graphics is orange in legend, yellow on chart (when it's not overlayed, see the first video)
    • java has entirely different green hue
    • stack is grey on chart, white in legend

reproduction app with video i used to test https://github.com/nt4f04unds-archive/issues/tree/flutter_78128

    Closing as obsolete: This issue was reported on a very old version of DevTools (Flutter 2.0.2). The Memory screen and its charting infrastructure have since been completely redesigned and rewritten.

    If there is more work to do here, please let us know by filing a new issue with up to date information. Thanks!
