Dear Michael Altwin,
Yes, it's a bug of error bars on a Bar/Column graph when the axis is
in a Log scale, though it the Scatter/Line plot type works okay. I will
request our developers to fix it in the next version.
Meanwhile, as a work-around, you can do the following (Example shown in the screenshot):
1) Make the column plot with no error bars (Graph1).
2) Make individual Column+Error Bar plots (Graph2 and Graph3). Hide the columns
to show only error bars. Change all scales equal to Graph1.
3) Merge all graphs to a single graph in 1x1 arrangement ("Graph: Merge Graph
Windows" menu)
4) Hide axes and tick labels of the error bar layers (layer2 and layer3).
5) Shift the X position of the error bar layer to match the corresponding
plot column. (You can select the layer frame, and press the left/right arrow
key to nudge.)
Sorry for the inconvenience.
