My VTKChartLegend is unmovable, even with this returning true:

```auto
chart->GetLegend()->GetDragEnabled();

```

Everything else about my VTKChartXY is working, and the interactor seems to be fully functional except for this. I am not setting the legend’s position anywhere either, only showing it.

Not sure why but this fixed it:

```auto
chart->GetLegend()->SetHorizontalAlignment(vtkChartLegend::CUSTOM);

```

Would love to know why this is needed, if anyone knows.
