Inactive tooltip overlays charts in page longer than 9999px

[KacperMadej]

When page is longer than 9999px then empty tooltip boxes start appearing on the page. It appears their position is translated to (0,-9999) so when a page extends longer they are no longer hidden from view.

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/meku/5vvdwL20/

The empty white tooltip squares actually belong to the charts near the bottom of the page.

Snippet:

(function (H, HA) {
    H.wrap(H.Tooltip.prototype, 'init', function (p, c, o) {
        p.call(this, c, o);
        this.label.hide();
    });


    H.wrap(H.SVGElement.prototype, 'hide', function (p, inherit) {
        if (this.div) {
            HA.animate(this.div, {
                opacity: 1
            }, {
                duration: 0   
            });
        }
        return p.call(this, inherit);
    });


    H.wrap(H.SVGElement.prototype, 'show', function (p, inherit) {
        if (this.div) {
            HA.animate(this.div, {
                opacity: 1
            }, {
                duration: 1   
            });
        }
        return p.call(this, inherit);
    });

    H.wrap(H.SVGElement.prototype, 'fadeOut', function (p, duration) {
        var elemWrapper = this;
        elemWrapper.animate({
            opacity: 0
        }, {
            duration: H.pick(duration, 150),
            complete: function () {
                elemWrapper.hide(); // #3088, assuming we're only using this for tooltips
            }
        });
        if (elemWrapper.div) {
            HA.animate(elemWrapper.div, {
                opacity: 0
            }, {
                duration: H.pick(duration, 150)
            });
        }
    });
})(Highcharts, HighchartsAdapter)

Can't we just du this the brute-force way and set tooltip y to -99999 instead of -9999?

[pawelfus]

Is there sam limitation in SVG for y position? If not, why not use -Number.MAX_VALUE ?

[TorsteinHonsi]

It's probably okay. You can test it in different browsers and see.

[DavidKDeutsch]

I see this issue was never closed; has the fix not made it into an official release yet?

Also, I see many other instances of -9999 (and +9999) in the version of the code I have (2.1.10); are there plans to make those other instance +/-9e9 as well?
