Bubble size does not take in consideration all global values when a group happens

[Spartan IV]

Lets pretend this is the data:

MusicGenre  AgeGroup  TimesPlay

Rock             10-15              100
Rock              16-20             200
Classical        10-15               5
Classical         16-20              4

If I do not group the data and I plot it

1. Then Rock 16-20 is the biggest bubble (biggest)
2. Followed by Rock 10-15 (2nd biggest)
3. Classical 10-15 (tiny)
4. Classical 16-20 (tiny)

But I get the same color for each bubble

If I group by Genre

I want to have the same color for Rock and a different one for classical and that happens, but then the bubble size
is determined by items in the same group, not compared with the rest
So Classical 10-15 and 16-20 now are big
Classical 10-15 = 5 out of 9 instead of 5 out of 309
Classical 16-20 = 4 out of 9 instead of 4 out of 309

Both are rendered big, because the grouping is taking in consideration only items inside the group and not comparing with other groups

I want to group to have different colors, but then the purpose of the bubble chart gets defeated, because having similar sizes doesn't make an useful visualization.

Is this a bug or it is intended to work this way?

 

dataSource: {

  

transport: {

read: { 

 url: "@Url.Content("~/Music/GetData")",

 dataType: "json",

  data: { // This are the parameters

  genre: function() {

   return "All";

  }

}

}

}, 

group: { 

 field: "Genre" 

 }

},

Any help? Is there a way to have groups but the bubble sizes are based on all the items, not only on the ones inside the group?

Thanks

Functionality is NOT supported, I got an answer on a different thread

http://www.kendoui.com/forums/dataviz/chart/bubble-chart-size-mostly-the-same-for-all-bubbles.aspx

This definitively needs to be added, because it doesn't make sense to have a bubble chart where you cannot compare different series between each other in a reliable way.
