I'm running ROS Melodic on Ubuntu 18.04. When I visualize a rosbag with rqt, plotted data (z = 1.00) does not correspond to numerical values displayed in the right pane (z = 0.00). Here is the screenshot:

yes, it's a javascript based timer running client side.

but Comments, Seen: 7 times and other elements require manual page refresh.

AskBot does not use any event pushing, so a reload is necessary to refresh the page.

I noticed some years ago that the rqt_bag plot functionality apparently doesn't plot all datapoints, but appears to only sample them. This clearly limits the plot's usefulness. Should be find- and fixable when looking at source, but there are also alternatives such as PlotJuggler available that don't show this issue.

PlotJuggler does indeed show complete data in my case.

Furthermore, in your case, PlotJuggler will show the yaw rotation in degrees instead of the raw quaternion ;)
