Stuck tooltips on ipad

[mbalonso]

Tooltips seem to get stuck when viewing charts on an ipad. To reproduce this simply go to http://www.highcharts.com/demo/ and tap anywhere in the Monthly Average Temperature chart. The only way to make a tooltip go away is to click "View options" or refresh the page.

I've got the same issue whit a new version of highchart and using the new parameter "followTouchMove". Once shown the tooltip won't hide anymore.

I've make a little temporary workaround which works fine in my case :

    $('#parentId').on({
        'touchend': function(evt){
            chart.tooltip.hide();
            chart.tooltip.hideCrosshairs();
        }
    });

where parentId is the id of the parent div, containing the chart.

it adds an event handling on touch end. It seem like 'hide' and 'hideCrosshairs' were not called at all on ipad so this solved my problem for now.
