I use LIVE Highchart with 2 live graphs. The chart should display only 5 datapoints at on time. Therefore is the shift-argument
var series1 = chart.series[0];
shift1 = series1.data.length > 5;
series1.addPoint(point1, true, shift1);
So when point six arrives, point one is thrown away. But when i disable a series for a while ... and after enabling it again ... there was no shift.

I reproduced it on jsfiddle for you
So both livegraphs no matter whether enabled or disabled should be shifted.
Looks like a bug in Highcharts to me. As a workaround, just .show()
the series, then hide()
it (if needed). Highcharts seems to be able to do this without any visible flickering.
// the button action
$('#button1').click(function() {
var point1 = Math.random() * 10;
var point2 = Math.random() * 10;
var series1 = chart.series[0];
shift1 = series1.data.length > 5;
isVisible = series1.visible;
if (!isVisible) series1.show();
series1.addPoint(point1, true, shift1);
if (!isVisible) series1.hide();
var series2 = chart.series[1];
shift2 = series2.data.length > 5;
isVisible = series2.visible;
if (!isVisible) series2.show();
series2.addPoint(point2, true, shift2);
if (!isVisible) series2.hide();
});
Updated fiddle.
