• The Bar and Area Charts no longer show the stacked option.

• The tooltip's appearance has changed, especially if the first chart control is hidden in the UI (possibly due to its placement in the first tab, which may not be in focus).

  Note:
  - To render donut or pie chart, only one integer or numeric data series should be selected for the y-axis of the chart.
  - For Sankey chart, the chart type has to be selected before selecting the Datasource.
