Kibana: 8.3.2

Hi, i'm trying to use the "filter by geometry" button but it happens to be missing on some indexes.  
Any idea why it only appears in some?

Can you provide more details about `map3` layer. What type of layer is this? How is it configured? What version of Kibana are you using?

The index is very simple too.

Would you mind creating an issue on [github](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug&template=Bug_report.md).

If possible please include the geometry that is not working, maybe as a geojson file. Also include mappings.

Thanks
