[Bug]: Tooltip references invalid element after chart data updates

Current and expected behavior

If the chart data changes in the background, while an existing tooltip is shown (triggered by a previous hover action), then the mouse is moved again - chart.js will trigger an inChartArea = false event, attempting to reuse the old/invalid active elements.
