Charting (/worklog/chart) should have an extra checkbox added under "Scale" which would be labeled "Ignore losses" Ignore losses should be unchecked by default.

When unchecked, all worklog and funding entries for a given job create a summative total over all time. This line is continuous in the sense that it a point is equal to the point prior plus or minus worklog entires or funding entires.

When checked, all worklog items decrease from the summative total of available house, however, whenever funding is available, the funding begins from y=0 and not from the current summative total.

A place where this change would be significant is when worklog entries start a job with no funding and then later in time funding is available. This option shows the difference in available and consumed hours when you do and do not try to backfill your initial losses with funding that came later. Typically financial folks and project managers desire one or both of these slightly different views.
