Point level events not working for charts in 11.4.0

[sidrak19]

Expected behaviour

Till v11.3.0, we could define events at the point level in a series, and those events would be triggered.

series: [{
  ...
  data: [
    ...
    {
      x: 1,
      y: 5,
      events: {
      	mouseOver: () => {console.log('hovered over point')},
      },
    },
    ... 
  ],

Hover over the point at x=1 in https://jsfiddle.net/Lu3rpt1k/, it logs a message in the console.

Actual behaviour

Since v11.4.0, the point level events are no longer triggered.

Hover over the point at x=1 in https://jsfiddle.net/yLqhgmdn/, it no longer logs a message in the console.

Hello @sidrak19 and thanks for reporting the issue.

As a workaround, you can use for example addEvent method: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/ktcae6zq/
