Kibana: Area Chart mode Overlap Error: Area charts require more than one data point. Try adding an X-Axis Aggregation

[killolol]

1. Create new Area Chart visualization
2. Added X axis
3. Added Y axis
4. Added split Area
5. ERROR RAISED: Area charts require more than one data point. Try adding an X-Axis Aggregation

But this error is only raised when CHART MODE: OVERLAP is chosen from options.

I was testing further this unwanted behaviour and I find out, that this error only ocurs when there is no occurence of some of field values during some of generated intervals.

1. time interval:
   1.1.1.1 - 148millis
   1.1.1.2 - 100millis

2. time interval:
   1.1.1.1 - 100millis
   1.1.1.2 - 148millis

3. time interval:
   1.1.1.1 - 148millis
   1.1.1.3 - 100millis
   If I make visualization only over first two time intervals, everything works OK, but if I try to make visualization also over third time interval, mentioned error occurs.

Installed kibana 5.3 today, issue still persist.

Seeing this in 5.3.2

I dug into this a bit more and can confirm that it's a bug when displaying a series that doesn't span more than one bucket. When using stacked mode (or when using a Line Chart), the chart silently doesn't display the series. When using overlap mode, the chart displays the error reported.

Commenting out this line https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/v5.3.2/src/ui/public/vislib/visualizations/point_series/area_chart.js#L60 will cause the overlap mode to return a visualization similar to the Line Chart.
