Accessibility- WCAG Compliance failure

The highcharts tooltips that becomes available on hover does not allow user to move the pointer over the additional content without it disappearing.

For example on mouse hover at the bars available at this url - https://www.highcharts.com/demo/bar-basic

Failure of WCAG Compliance : 1.4.13.

Is there any out-of-box way to fix this issue ? Please advice.

Re: Accessibility- WCAG Compliance failure

Hello,

Hiding the tooltip after you take the mouse out of the point is our default intended behavior. To prevent that, you can easily control it with the tooltip.stickOnContact option that can be found in the API.

See a demo, with this option set to true.

Do not hesitate to contact us with any further questions,
Best regards!
