The workaround is to set style.pointerEvents to auto, see http://jsfiddle.net/fb0qssya/4/.

I'm not sure whether to call this a bug or a feature - as you see from the offending commit it resolves another problem. The ideal solution would allow clicks mot ignore mousemove events.

Expected behaviour

In a tooltip with HTML enabled tag with dropdown/select to open with available dropdown options.

Actual behaviour

The dropdown/select doesn't open, seems disabled?

@TorsteinHonsi That workaround does allow for clicking on links, but it does lead to undesirable behavior. I have stickyTracking: false, but if I hover around the tooltip it switches points if they are closer than the anchor. If the tooltip is big enough, and the chart is densely populated it can make it impossible to click on the link. http://jsfiddle.net/TJHiggins/fb0qssya/10/

Probably going to have to add some hacky extension to resolve so it doesn't switch points when hovering over a tooltip if stickyTracking: false. Suggestions?

@TorsteinHonsi, Try to click on HighChart in below fiddle:-

I am also facing this issue as mention in the above link when I have line densely chart then want to click on tooltip link then it opens up new tooltip so it is impossible to click on the link. Same happend in touch devices also.
