\*\* Kibana version: 6.5.3\*\*  
\*\* ES version: 6.5.3\*\*

Steps to reproduce:  
Visualize -\> visual builder

- Add a simple dataset, no aggregations or anything, just some timeseries data
- Duplicate the dataset with the "duplicate" button
- Go into options -\> offset series time by: 1d
- Make sure the timepicker at the top is set to : past 24 hours

Expected behavior:  
two graphs, one overlaid on top of the other

Actual behavior:  
two graphs, stacked side-by-side

\*\* Update \*\*  
Sometimtes, it first renders the graph as you would expect (two overlaid datasets) BUT then the graph flickers and re-renders with the data split again.

I am not sure if its expected or a bug yet.  
Will make sure a dev will look at it.

Thanks,
