Problem:

The bars in a Bar Chart visualization are only skinny lines, and the width cannot be adjusted.


Solution:

When configuring a Bar Chart, the width of the bars may only be skinny lines with minimal thickness. On the "Bar Chart Properties" dialog's "Appearance" page, the 'Bar width' slider is greyed out. 
The bars of a Bar Chart will become skinny like this when the category axis is set to a "Continuous" axis mode. 
 
To get the bars to become thicker, just set the axis mode to "Categorical" here:
  •  Bar Chart Properties > Categorical Axis > Columns: Settings > Axis mode: Categorical
