Short version:
In a line series chart I have tooltips. These show all the time when the mouse is nowhere near an actual point on the chart. Seems no matter where my mouse is on a like I will see the tooltip for the point that is closest to my mouse. I want to be required to actually hover over the real data point on the chart to get the tooltip, not the line itself.
Longer version:
Open to suggestions if there is a better way. In the attached photo, you can see a chart that shows my customer gains and losses for a given period. The period is filterable. The "Maximize" button in the upper right doubles the chart width, and uses JavaScript to recalculate the step if needed (i.e. if there are too many data points to see all at once) and redraws the chart. When the user hovers over a data metric, they see a customized tooltip that lets them investigate the data that created the chart. This is a new Kendo window that pops up and contains a Kendo grid. The grid contains the exact number of customers in the metric they clicked on.
The ultimate problem is that while trying to navigate my mouse to the "Customer List" link I end up getting a new tooltip before I get there. It's too tough to use. So I want to only show a tooltip when actually hovering over the data point circle. If there's a better way I would listen to suggestions.
