Hi @primerano

This is caused by change in v6: in v6 tooltip.split is set to true by default, without useHTML support. You can get previous tooltip with useHTML by disabling split, demo: http://jsfiddle.net/0grm1vro/2/

While at least in our usage, setting setting split: false does rectify the issue, the documentation indicates that the default is false:

http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/tooltip.split

Is this a temporary bug that we need to workaround for the moment, or a permanent change? If it's permanent, then the documentation for useHTML should also be modified to indicate the requirement.

Setting this to false fixed my problem. Thanks.

It seems that this default of true only applies to highstock and not highmaps or the base highcharts.

Perhaps the default should be put back to false for consistency?

[pawelfus]

This is expected change, just docs are not updated, we will fix that, thank you for letting us know!

@TorsteinHonsi - what do you think about split + useHTML?

[TorsteinHonsi]

the documentation indicates that the default is false

You are linking to the Highcharts documentation. Highstock has a different default: http://api.highcharts.com/highstock/tooltip.split

Under any circumstance, useHTML is fixed now.

I just ran into this issue and just saw you provided a fix. Do you have an idea of when are you gonna release this (in a 6.0.2 for instance) ?

Hi, v6.0.2 should be released this week.
