bug#47133: 28.0.50; Library chart: colors sometimes appear, sometimes not

[Jean Louis]

Here is one example chart:

M-x load-library RET chart RET

(chart-bar-quickie 'vertical "People's Acknowledgments"
                   '("Joe" "Jane" "Jean" "Jenny")
                   "Acknowledged people"
                   '(6.0 4.0 4.0 4.0)
                   "Person")

Colors sometimes appear, sometimes not. Sometimes I get just drawings
instead of colors. I am using extensively chart library and I used in
last months, somewhere last month or short time before, I have seen that
sometimes I do not see any colors.

Because I have not changed anything on my side I think that developers
changed something and now there is problem with colors.

I have tried already everything to determine what is wrong. I cannot
find where is problem, and I have nothing in my configuration that
changes the chart library.

I have tried invoking the above chart function after any loading of any
librari in my init, and it worked well.

The above chart function sits in my indestructible *scratch* and I run
Emacs as server, then comes the client and I evaluate that
function. Sometimes on the first invokation of emacsclient after
initialization I will see colors. Sometimes I will not see colors. That
says to me that it is most probably not related to my configuration.

It appear to be random.
