MinPointLength not working if entire series values are 0

[ngehlert]

Expected behaviour

When I have an entire series with 0 values, the plotOptions.series.minPointLength attribute should still apply and the entire series should be visible with the specified minPointLength

Actual behaviour

If the entire series has 0 values, the series is not visible at all. However if at least 1 value is > 0, the minPointLength does work for the entire series

Happens in the latest highcharts version: Highcharts JS v6.0.2 (2017-10-20)

Hi @ngehlert

Thank you for reporting this bug. It used to work in v5: http://jsfiddle.net/rpz0mv4f/3/

Internal note:
It's a regression after 6b9e399 - @KacperMadej

downgrading is currently not an option, so I'll just wait for the fix :). thanks for your quick response @pawelfus

do you know if there is any workaround besides setting a fake value in one entry?
