hover state flickers on IE with html tooltip

In the small state demo if I add a tooltip the hover state gets confused. Lots of blinking

http://jsfiddle.net/primerano/m45h1ds5/

watch as the yellow background flickers on and off as you move inside a state.

This does not happen on Firefox or Chrome.

Changes from the demo are

Code: Select all

    tooltip: {
      enabled: true,
      useHTML: true,
      formatter: map_tooltip
    },
and the addition of the map_tooltip function.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Kamil,
is there any update on that issue? I have gone through the mentioned github link, but the issue is still open. Is there any workaround or even a new highchart/highstock version which has solved that?

Kind regards
Sascha

hi Sascha,

Have you tried to set the useHTML parameter equal to false? If no, try that workaround and let me know about the result.

Hi Daniel,
thanks for your fast response!
if we set useHTML to false, the HTML formatting will not work. As per our requirement, we have to add a dropdown control to the tooltip. Thus, we need to render the tooltip as HTML tags like <LI> or anchor <a> tag.
This is not possible by setting useHTML parameter equal to false, right?

Best regards
Sascha

hi SaschaJung,

Yes, unfortunately it's not possible at this moment. This what you can do now is to add your comments on the issue and calmly wait for some workaround or fix.
