Pie Graph Detail Label/Legend Color Issue

Detail Labels on pie graph will not change color when "Legend" field is blank.  My "Values' field has data from their own columns, so I don't require the "Legend" field to be populated.  But when the "Legend" field is un-populated, the pie graph does not allow me to customize the font on the detail Labels.  The detail label font can only be customized when the "Legend" field is populated.  Is this a bug? I shouldn't have to categorize my data set for a Legend just to customize my font IMHO. Any ideas?

I don't have an option to download that version on the website. could this be a location restriction? Would you be able to provide me a link to the version?

Thanks

Due to work restrictions, I am unable to download the 32-bit version.  I will just have to hope they fix the bug in the next 64-bit version.

I updated to the latest version available to me and I am still having the issue.  I have background units turned on, yet no backround will appear. The color is locked to grey.  Selecting a color will show the color box switch for a split second, then turn back to grey.
