Problem:

Bar Chart visualization shows "Stacked" instead of "Side by Side Bars" even when set to "Side by Side" configuration.


Solution:

Bar Chart visualization shows "Stacked" instead of "Side by Side Bars" when set to "Side by Side" configuration.
In the below image of a Bar Chart, "Side-by-side bars" has been selected for the Layout , but the plot's bars are displayed as Stacked bars.

This can happen when the Bar Chart's coloring mode has been set to "Continuous" instead of "Categorical".
 
In the below reference image, the "Advanced Settings" dialog for the plot's Colors property shows its "Axis mode" set to "Continuous".

Once this is updated to "Categorical" as per the below screenshot, the bars are displayed as Side-by-side bars.
