Legend formatting locked on default settings

In my line and clustered column chart, I am unable to change the font, size, or color. When I try to choose a different font, size, or color, the selection switches back to the default. In addition, if I click the on/off slider to turn the legend off, it switches back to on, and when I type in a legend title, the text that I typed into the box disappears. However, if I change the graph type to clustered column chart, the changes that I attempted suddenly appear, including new title text, font color, type, and size. 

 

@v-yulgu-msft  @v-chuncz-msft this looks like a glitch. What am I missing here? I am running Version: 2.65.5313.701 64-bit (December 2018)

 

The options that I'm referencing are visible in the screenshot below, under the legend section of the format menu:

Is this a known bug that can be fixed be an upgrade? Unfortunately updating software is a complicated task at my organization so I want to be sure updating PBI is the solution before moving forward.
