Show Legend problem

Custom legend text disappears when the Chart Margins are changed. The code below reproduce the problem:
public Form1()
	{
		InitializeComponent();

		//Add a fast line series
		FastLine fastline1 = new FastLine(tChart1.Chart);
			//Set some random values

			fastline1.FillSampleValues(10);
			tChart1.Legend.Transparent = false;
			tChart1.Legend.Pen.Visible = true;
			tChart1.DoubleClick += TChart1_DoubleClick;
	}

	private void TChart1_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
			tChart1.ShowEditor();
	}

	private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
			tChart1.Panel.MarginRight = 6;
			tChart1.Legend.CustomPosition = true;
			tChart1.Legend.Left = tChart1.Legend.Left;
		  tChart1.Legend.Top = tChart1.Legend.Top;
		}

Also, I have done a video to show exactly the problem.

This is by design and so not a bug. To change the behaviour of the chart please set the ClipText property to false, e.g.

		private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			tChart1.Panel.MarginRight = 20;

			tChart1.Legend.ClipText = false;
			tChart1.Legend.CustomPosition = true;
			tChart1.Legend.Left = tChart1.Legend.Left;
			tChart1.Legend.Top = tChart1.Legend.Top;
		}
