Little, It sounds like what you really need is that if the user hovers over the tooltip, it remains visible as long as they stay inside the area of the tooltip, or maybe if they exist for a short time and return. A fadeOut time by itself would not necessarily support that very reasonable feature. This is more of a delay before starting a fadeOut, but also a disabling of the fadeOut while you are still hovering, either over the data point or the associated tooltip. And maybe there would have to be a similar delay before showing a tooltip.
I don't know how difficult it will be to support this delay/disable feature in the current code, or if it will have to wait until we do more restructuring of the event handling, but we'll look into it. Thanks for your suggestion.
