plotAreaClick doesn't work for Pie or Donut

Ran this on StackBlitz 


import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import {
  LegendLabelsContentArgs,
  SeriesClickEvent,
} from '@progress/kendo-angular-charts';
import { IntlService } from '@progress/kendo-angular-intl';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `
    <kendo-chart
      (plotAreaClick)="onClick($event)"
      [transitions]="false"
      title="World Population by Broad Age Groups"
    >
      <kendo-chart-legend position="bottom"></kendo-chart-legend>
      <kendo-chart-series>
        <kendo-chart-series-item
          type="donut"
          [data]="pieData"
          field="value"
          categoryField="category"
          explodeField="exploded"
          [labels]="{ visible: true, content: labelContent }"
        >
        </kendo-chart-series-item>
      </kendo-chart-series>
    </kendo-chart>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent {
  public pieData: Array<{
    category: string;
    value: number;
    exploded: boolean;
  }> = [
    { category: '0-14', value: 0.2545, exploded: false },
    { category: '15-24', value: 0.1552, exploded: false },
    { category: '25-54', value: 0.4059, exploded: false },
    { category: '55-64', value: 0.0911, exploded: false },
    { category: '65+', value: 0.0933, exploded: false },
  ];

  constructor(private intl: IntlService) {
    this.labelContent = this.labelContent.bind(this);
  }

  public labelContent(args: LegendLabelsContentArgs): string {
    return `${args.dataItem.category} years old: ${this.intl.formatNumber(
      args.dataItem.value,
      'p2'
    )}`;
  }

  public onClick(event: any): void {
    console.log('Click');
  }
}

When the event is seriesClick, it works as expected, and if I change the type to bar, it works as expected, but when it's as shown as above, the onClick event isn't triggered. 

As I have donuts/pies that might not have data in it, I needed to use plotAreaClick (which I have done for the bar charts)

 

Thanks,
