Discussion about it here and validation

i can confirm
the problem comes when you change from bytes to bits and then bits to bytes.

one temporary workaround :
change /usr/local/www/widgets/widgets/traffic_graphs.widget.php on line 280 :

    window.size = <?=json_encode($tg_size)?>;

    window.size = <?=json_encode($tg_size)?>*1;

This is because https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/master/src/usr/local/www/js/traffic-graphs.js#L203 strict check an integer.
And the values comning from post are strings.
Should be casted at first stage, but need more changes to be clean.

It looks like it was introduced in this commit (not that the code before it was perfect): https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/52229047e723241046a2641efc477a8b48b24dc8

I fixed it in this commit: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/e5b43cf8b86586486d951ab1da35b6c45ad6edf6

You can test by toggling the Unit Size from Bits to Bytes and back again, or you can open the console and enter:

console.log(window.size);

• window.graph_backgroundupdate
• window.interval
• window.size
• window.smoothing

It Works! ;)

Thanks for digging into the problem and for testing the fix!

I'm running 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 (amd64) and just noticed this same issue is still happening on my install. Do I need to do anything to fix it?

I can't reproduce, did you toggle the Unit Size from Bits to Bytes and back again (hitting Save each time) on the Traffic Graphs widget and the units not match up?
