Thanks, I took a look at the TUI code and found some missing pieces and
bugs. Those code were in the original version but seems to get lost
during the cherry-picking and I tested wrong version. :(

Probably not. I was thought keeping an array and its length together is
better. But it's rather a waste to save the same information to every
date structure so I move it to the struct annotate_browser->nr_events.

For evsel->nr_members, current code sets it only for grouping is enabled
so the individual events will have value of 0. Also it's not pass the
evsel to every function need it. But if you think it should really be
fixed that way I can make the change to pass and use evsel->nr_members.

Anyway, below is a fixed version that could survived my testing.
