Info panel useless for graphs
[Illustrator 25.0, Windows 10 Enterprise]
When using Group Select tool to select an element within a graph, the Info panel shows nonsensical values (e.g. W: -2730p6 H: -2730p6 ). Since the Transform panel has never shown values for graph elements (grayed out, 0 and 0), we relied on the Info panel to check the size of graph elements.
We use Illustrator exclusively for graphs, and this bug makes it impossible to follow our sizing standards.
This is an ongoing bug, every graph, every element of it, all the time.
Please fix the Info panel, or better yet, make the Transform panel active and relevant for graph elements.

Still waiting for this bug to be fixed...several years later. Can you please add this fix to the next round of updates? PLEASE?

Select any element of a (live) graph, using the Group Select tool, and the info panel will display a nonsensical value for Width and Height every time.

In previous versions (3 or 4 yeas ago, and for 15+ years before that?), the info panel was the only way to see the dimensions of a graph element. Now there's no way to see the measurement of a graph element, unless you copy, then paste it to a new layer.
My colleagues and I would be forever grateful if this feature can be restored to Illustrator data graphs. -
As per the comment by Susan Krupkowski in a comment in this bug report: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/36689818
Quoted:
Need to fix the bug whereas the Info panel no longer shows correct values for graph elements (selected with the Group Select tool). Instead, values are W: -2730p6 H: -2730p6.
I tried to submit this as a bug, but the "magic link" for login doesn't work when you're behind a firewall.
The bug, as I wish to report it:

This is an ongoing bug, every graph, every element of it, all the time. The Info panel *used* to show correct values in versions 3+ years old--now it shows nonsensical values.
I'd like to upload a screen shot, but every file type I try is an invalid type.. WTH? -

This bug has not been fixed. [Windows 10, AI v25.2.3 ]
If the entire graph is selected, the Info panel displays the correct values. However, when a single element of the graph is selected (i.e. one bar or column), the Info panel is incorrect. In the attached screen shot, it shows"
W = -2730p6 and H = -2730p6
