[Accessibility] The content in the tooltip is not hoverable.

[puneet-ahuja]

The content in the tooltips should stick and user should be able to move mouse over the tooltip.

Steps to replicate:

Open the Codesandbox Link.

The above link opens an interactive multi-line chart.
We can access the tooltips on the lines using the mouse pointer but we are not able to hover mouse pointer over the tooltip.

I think you are talking about Vega tooltips which is a specific implementation of the tooltip api in Vega. Default tooltips in Vega use the html title property. Is that right? Then we should move this and some of the other issues you filed.

Hey @domoritz ,

We are using vega-lite and internally it is using vega-tooltip to plot the tooltip.
Please let me know where should I add this feature request.
Thanks.

Hey @domoritz,
Rechecking in case my previous message got overlooked.

Thanks for your patience with me getting to triage this and thanks for filing this and the other issues.

I think this is a specific enhancement request for https://github.com/vega/vega-tooltip. We don't have an option to keep the tooltip visible when you hover over it but I would argue that we want to be careful with such a design as it make it hard to move the cursor down towards an element that is covered by a previous tooltip.

I'm going to close this issue here and opened vega/vega-tooltip#890 with the ask to add an option to support this feature. Since you added the AX keyword to the title, please explain why this is AX related in a comment on that issue.
