Why is "other" on this pie chart?

Greetings,

Since an update (I don't know what version to what version, sorry!), one of my dashboards with pie chart is showing "other", and I don't know why.

My saved search is pretty basic:
sourcetype="squid" action="*" uri_host="youtube.com"| top 10 username

My dashboard module includes:

name="charting.chart.sliceCollapsingThreshold">0

But it doesn't seem to work.

Restructuring my search was the only way to resolve this.

sourcetype="squid" action="*" uri_host="youtube.com" | stats count by username | sort 10 -count

Try this:

sourcetype="squid" action="*" uri_host="youtube.com"| top 10 username useother="f"

Exactly.I tried to copy it here, but the formatting was terrible. 😉

And your code is something like this ?

No go. I attempted it, even though by using "top" it should inherently exclude other. The query does not include 'other' when I run it in the search. It does, however, in a dashboard.
