Hover failing on mouse move

[neo87cs]

Hover should be activated all the times the mouse pass trought a point but, with sticky tracking enabled or disabled, but if the mouse pointer is moving slowly near a point, the graph begin to lost the hover effect. This behaviour affect even the point listener, because while the hover is lost, click will not work to open the tooltip

A simple fiddle (i found it over internet) will demonstrate what i am meaning http://jsfiddle.net/neo87cs/vh2uer6n/

The use case we are using is the same: disabled default tooltip and it will be shown only when a point is clicked.

Thank you for reporting.

The behavior I'm seeing is that hovering over the same point twice fails when tooltip is disabled, and stickyTracking is off. Is this what you are referring to?

Thanks for your fast reply and sorry for my worst english. Yes, you got the point, the log show how Highcharts is loosing mouse tracking over points

Workaround:

Clear chart.pointer.prevKDPoint in mouseOut event, for example: http://jsfiddle.net/vh2uer6n/2/

[neo87cs]

The workaround seems to work pretty good, but sometimes can be noticed some little bad behaviors. I tried to use workaround even in Point->MouseOut listener, but i got a big regression with

@neo87cs - you message was cut, could you update your post? Anyway, point.events.mouseOut works for me too: http://jsfiddle.net/vh2uer6n/5/ (after small modification of course).

It should be fixed in 5.0.0 version: http://jsfiddle.net/e0m1pgLh/ - @neo87cs could you confirm it also works for you?

This issue is still present. Can be seen in last fiddle provided by @pawelfus

[pawelfus]

Thanks for pointing this out! It used to work in 5.0.0: http://jsfiddle.net/e0m1pgLh/2/

[Avuthless]

Yes i can confirm that in version 5.0.0 it was OK

[Avuthless]

Few notes: If you hover between different points it is OK. Also if you hover outside the graph area before coming back to your last hovered point it is also OK.

Seems to be working since version 5.0.8 - http://jsfiddle.net/e0m1pgLh/3/
and is working in the current (5.0.10) - http://jsfiddle.net/e0m1pgLh/4/

Please reopen in case of regression.
