List Pivot Plugin: element with link to detail seems to be not grouped correctly

[burghard]

I have a List with three column: name, year and work hour. I am using the pivot plugin to show the sum of work hours for each name and each year.
It is grouped by "year,name" to show the sum of each name for each year.
The x axis is set to the year column.
The y axis is set to the name column.

...and the name column has set to be linked to detail in the list view!

It shows me the correct sums. But for every change in the year (x-axis) a new row with the same name is generated on the y-axis.

If I swap x- and y-axis for every change in the year (now y-axis) a new column with the same name is generated on the x-axis.

If I remove the "link to detail" attribute, everything is grouped fine.

I have updated from github last week. So this may be an error ? no?

That's quite likely. The pivot plugin is one of those non-core plugin we wrote for a specific use case, and which tends to only get coding love when someone funds work on it. For now, the fix would be to copy your list, turn link to details off on that element, and use that as the one you pivot.

Thank you! I turned off the link already because I do not need it. Because I worked nearly three hours on it, I wanted to share that information, hoping that others can spare their time.
