Current Behavior

I have created a custom staced VerticalBarChart with multiple line data. The bars and lines are enabled in the legend using the hideLegend property when constructing the config
const config: IVerticalStackedBarChartProps = { data: formattedData, hideLegend: false, secondaryYScaleOptions: { yMinValue: parseInt((minPercentChange - 5).toFixed(0)), yMaxValue: parseInt((maxPercentChange + 5).toFixed(0)) }, yAxisTitle: "Total Revenue ($)", xAxisTitle: "Year", secondaryYAxistitle: "Growth (%)", tickFormat: '%yyyy', yAxisTickFormat: (y: number) =>${formatCurrency(y, 1)}, };

However, when I select a legend items at the bottom, the chart enters a state in which it highlights this exact item on the chart. This state is NON-REVERSIBLE. You cannot get rid of this state and come back to the normal view of the chart. See screenshot below:

BASICALLY, THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF THIS BUG IS TO NOT USE THE LEGEND AT ALL. Which I don't consider an option in my case.

Expected Behavior

Each chart with a hideLegend: false configuration should be able to easily transition between a state of 1 selected item from legendContainer and no selection. A reproduction link will be included in this bug issue.

Reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-e6mvhk?file=src%2FVerticalBarChart.tsx

Steps to reproduce

1. Visualize the vertical bar chart
2. Go to the legend at the bottom of the chart
3. Hover an item and click it to focus that line/bar on the chart
4. Try to click away or click on the chart to get rid of the single legend selection state
