Click events doesn't generate dataPointIndex and seriesIndex for Pie Charts

Bug report

Explanation

• What is the behavior you expect?

Both dataPointSelection and click event should return dataPointindex or/and series for all types of events correctly.

• What is happening instead?

Following code behaves differently for different charts. For Pie charts only dataPointSelection provides dataPointIndex, but click event always return -1, -1. Click event for bar chart works correctly so I'm assuming this is a bug, not a feature. Maybe other chart types have the same issue.

events: {
    dataPointSelection: function (event, chartContext, config) {
        console.log(config.dataPointIndex + " " + config.seriesIndex);
    },
    click: function (event, chartContext, config) {
        console.log(config.dataPointIndex + " " + config.seriesIndex);
    }
}

• What error message are you getting?

No error message.

This issue is also preventing me from detecting double-click events on a pie chart, since I apparently can't access the data point index that was clicked.

Yeah this is a bug. I think you can get around this by using event.target.parentElement.getAttribute("data:realIndex")

i.e

 chart: {
      type: 'pie',
      events: {
        click: function(event, chartContext, config) {
            console.log(event.target.parentElement.getAttribute("data:realIndex"))
        }
      }
    },

any idea? I'm getting config.dataPointIndex as -1 while hovering over a line graph

I have the same issue but I will use the trick with event.target.parentElement.getAttribute("data:realIndex")

Same issue here, we will use the same 'solution' as above.
