Bars with percentages are not clickable in dashboards

[alrubaa]

Kibana 7.16.2

Elasticsearch 7.16.2

Ubuntu 20.04 (tried 7 different servers), and WSL+Ubuntu on Windows 11

Edge Version 97.0.1072.55 (Official build) (64-bit) and FireFox 95.0264

Windows 10, Windows 11, and Ubuntu desktop 21.10

How I installed Elasticsearch and Kibana:
Download and install, as well as sudo apt install, I only use Elasticsearch and Kibana on Ubuntu, either on VMs, WSL on Windows or Using Ubuntu desktop. I do not run Elasticsearch and Kibana on any other platform.

Issue:
Bar charts in Kibana dashboards that display percentages on charts are not clickable to filter. The same bars if set to display actual values work fine. I have tried different servers, different clients and the same issue persists, and is easy to replicate. The first time that I encountered this issue was when I upgraded to version 7.12.1, before that all worked well.

At the time and after I posted on the forums, user Stratoula_Kalafateli from Elastic team kindly responded saying "I created an issue to our repo [XY axis] Filters not work for charts with percentage mode · Issue #99906 · elastic/kibana · GitHub" Stratoula_Kalafateli also advised me to go enable "legacy charts library" in advance settings to overcome the issue temporarily, which worked. Recently I upgraded to version 7.16.2 due to issue with Log4j, my employer has strict policies on security matters. After that the issue reappeared. I cannot find "legacy charts library" in advanced settings anymore, I found "Timelion legacy charts library" which I turned on but no effect. This is important as bar charts is all we use with ELasticsearch

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a bar chart in Kibana by clicking on All types and selecting aggregation based
2. Select vertical or horizontal, then select the index, then under buckets click add and split series, and then choose Terms from drop down menu and select a fields.
3. Go to Y-Axis and under mode select percentage. Then update.
4. Under matrix and axis set mode to stacked or Normal and enable show values on charts.
5. Under panel settings select show values on charts. Update and save.

Expected behavior:
I expect that when I click on any of the bars in a chart a filter is applied across the dashboard, however nothing happens. If however, I change the mode to show normal rather than percentage then clicking on a bar does filter.

Screenshots (if relevant):
Before clicking when bars showing percentage:

After clicking on a bar and nothing happens:

Changing one bar chart to normal mode instead of percentage under Y=Axis in matrix and axis:

After clicking on left most part of left bar you can see a filter was applied to dashboard as used to happen in past releases of Elasticsearch and Kibana:

@alrubaa thanx for submitting this. We have already a PR that is solving it #121610
We are targeting 7.17 for this, for now you could use Lens instead that works fine
