[orwant]

What steps will reproduce the problem? Please provide a link to a
demonstration page if at all possible, or attach code.
1. I have tried to capture the state properties when changing from barGraph to Bubbles.

null (Json)

3.

What component is this issue related to (PieChart, LineChart, DataTable,
Query, etc)?

MotionChart , getState()

I have the pleasure to brief you on our Data Visualization software
"Trend Compass".

TC is a new concept in viewing statistics and trends in an animated
way by displaying in one chart 5 axis (X, Y, Time, Bubble size &
Bubble color) instead of just the traditional X and Y axis. Discover
trends hidden in spreadsheets. It could be used in analysis,
research, presentation etc. In different business sectors, to name a
few we have Deutsche Bank, NBC Universal, RIM,  Vanguard
Institutional Investor, Ipsos, Princeton University as our clients.

You can download a trial version. It has a feature to export
EXE,PPS,HTML and AVI files. The most impressive is the AVI since you
can record Audio/Video for the charts you create.

This got commented on again in the forums (https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-visualization-api/O1i-1KTogmI/IJ290wkJzk0J)
and I wrote a jsfiddle demonstrating the rather bizarre nature of this bug (http://jsfiddle.net/asgallant/HV6W3/)
in case anyone ever goes over this again.
