Line Chart, hover displaying e.g. measure with C10 chart authoring

Hi,
In C8 chart engine (legacy chart) you can hover over a line chart, and see the measure, category and serie for the chosen line ([Category]=XXX, [Series]=YYY, [Default measure]=ZZZ). Whilst with the new chart engine (C10), I only get to see the series. Is it possible to display the other values as well, or do I have to use legacy charts?

I know it is possible to display line with markers, which will give the values by hovering over, but I don't want to use markers. Or at least the markers can't be visible...

Thank you

Thought I had found a way to make it work, by choosing line type 'line and markers' and setting the marker size to 1px - meaning it to be the same size as the line. But when I tried this it is impossible to hit the marker. I even tried to set it to 2px (see attachment), and the same problem occurs. When using 3px, it is better, but still difficult to hit the marker. Meaning I have to increase the marker size to >3px, leaving me with the same problem as in the beginning.

I found a solution.
By changing the transparency of 'marker fill' to 100%, you can get the same functionality as it is in Legacy Charts. You can even change the size of the invisible markers, this can be done under properties, in 'Palette'.
