BUG: Ability to set Chart Title for a Line/Stacked Chart by a measure is broken

The issue is the same described here:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Ability-to-set-Chart-Title-for-a-Line-Stacked-Chart-by-a-me...

 

I am posting it on this thread as a Super User recommended me to report this as an issue in the support page. 

 

A small contrived example illustrates the problem where the title of a Line and Stacked Chart via a measure can't be displayed inside the Chart. 

 

Created a data table (named "Org"):

Data TableData Table

 

Then setup two measures - one for the chart value and one for the chart title:

SalesAmt = SUM(Org[Sales])
Title = "Sales by Group"
 
Then I setup 4 chart variations to show what works and what doesn't:
Variation 1 - Line and Stacked Chart with Measure Title. Chart Measure only in Column Values.

This one works since I didn't put the [SalesAmt] Measure in the Line Values box. Title is driven by [Title] Measure.

 

Variation 2 - Line and Stacked Chart with No Measure Title. Chart Measure in both Column and Line Values:

Line and Stacked Chart - No Title, but [SalesAmt] is in both Column Values and Line ValuesLine and Stacked Chart - No Title, but [SalesAmt] is in both Column Values and Line Values

This one also works since I didn't put the [Title] measure in the chart. No title, but I get Stacked Chart and Line.

 

Variation 3 - Line and Stacked Chart with Measure Title, but Chart Measure only in the Line Values:

In the absence of [SalesAmt] in Column values, this one also works with the [Title] measure in the chart. But I only get a Line in the visual since I didn't apply the [SalesAmt] in the Column values.

 

Variation 4 - Line and Stacked Chart with Measure Title [Title], with Chart Measure  [SalesAmt] in both Column and Line Values:

Now the problem surfaces with visuals spinning, and display not appearing. Performance Analyzer shows calls to DAX query and also a call to Direct Query which doesn't seem to end.
