Tooltip event issues when using multiple “xs” with “groups”

[vbatoufflet]

Since the changes introduced by the 93703e6 commit, the display of tooltips does not trigger well when using timeseries X-Axis with multiple data.xs on grouped series.

The tooltip is not always shown when moving the cursor over the various series or outside of them.

See http://jsfiddle.net/2u9z7xco/ for an overview.

Thank you for your reporting. You're right. There was a bug when finding closest data point position on statcked (grouped) chart. I think this has been fixed now and I'll release this in the next version. Thanks.

Thanks for the fix.

I have another question though, is there anyway to regain the old behavior showing the tooltip whatever the cursor position on the X-Axis is ?

[masayuki0812]

Please use data.x instead of data.xs if all of data uses same x. When data.xs used, tooltip will appear near the data point.

I released v0.4.2, so please let me close.

This issue is not fully resolved.
Can I get the tooltip to behave using data.xs as it does when using data.x?

For example, I have two timeseries data columns (A,B), monthly data for an entire year. Only one of them (A) has daily values for January, so I had to use data.xs in order to let the second group (B) still appear continuous for the entire year while providing the daily values where available.

Now the tooltip has trouble showing up for the remaining months (Feb-Dec), even though here I would wish for the exact same behavior as if I was using data.x only. (At this point, the x's line up perfectly between the two data columns).

As a side note for anyone else in a similar situation, I found that using the option

line: { connectNull: true }

works out just the way I wanted it, without having to use data.xs. More details here: #81
