followPointer: true does nothing for Highstock?

[dansan]

When using Highcharts instead of Highstock, followPointer makes the tooltip float with mouse movement.
The same setting seems to do nothing for Highstock, it still jumps between the points. Is it possible to make it work?

Thanks for contacting us with your question!

To enable tooltip.followPointer in Highstock you need to set the tooltip.split to false as it defaults to true in Stock.

Thanks! Perfect.

Yeah okay, I see the note about split:true in the documentation now - my bad!
It can be confusing when options default to different things depending on the chart.

Best regards!
