Tooltip doesn't follow guidline on scroll

[Vieshanis]

I am using:
"angular-nvd3": "1.0.9"
"d3": "3.5.17",
"nvd3": "1.8.1",
"angular": "1.5.8",
and Fuse admin template.

Problem appears when there are many charts in one page. If you scroll down page, then tooltips doesn't follow guideline. See picture below.
If I would scroll further down, then tooltip isn't visible at all.
Inspecting in Chrome Developer tools, checking this on third, forth, fifth (and so on) chart- The tooltip shows only on last (2nd) chart where tooltip was working.
<div class="nvtooltip xy-tooltip nv-pointer-events-none" id="nvtooltip-45529" style="top: 0px; left: 0px; opacity: 0; transform: translate(279px, 826px) !important;">

Sorry for the very late response.

I hope you've been using useInteractiveGuideline: true

• If so then .nvtooltip element were populated beneath the nvd3 element. And fuse theme md-content has styles like position:absolute;top:0 so when you scroll on the main content, the page get extended from the md-content initials and our mouse postion event.clientY is just based on the screen (not calculated based on the md-content initials).So the mouse event.clientY is based on the screen and this is why the tooltips are not in right position.

To fix this I have two solutions:

1. useInteractiveGuideline: false - This will populate .nvtooltip within document.body and the tooltips will be in right position. But you cannot see grouped tooltip information.
2. If you still want to use useInteractiveGuideline: true - Then you need some edits in the nvd3 library

• change lines chartContainer(that.parentNode) to chartContainer(document.body)
• but this step is not tested so it should be at your own risk.

@oxy-code
I followed your advice on:

• change lines chartContainer(that.parentNode) to chartContainer(document.body)

And it did work, but .position must be adjusted, could you please provide some ideas?
I have set .position({left: pointXLocation + margin.left - 414, top: e.mouseY + margin.top +366})
It doesn't look perfect but at least it works.

@Vieshanis

try

interactiveLayer: {
     gravity:'s'
     ....
}

or

Kindly replicate your issue in the jsfiddle or some other, So that i can look through it.

Thanks.

I found a bug regarding tooltip scrolling in the current version 1.8.6-dev, may apply to this.
For me, the solution was to add window.scrollY to top in the inline function var positionTooltip = function(){ ... }

I have found the same issue. Even when there is a single graph on the page, if there is scrolling involved the tool tip position will be off by the amount scrolled. I tried changing the chartContainer, but it seems that this function is deprecated. In addition, I tried adding the window.scrollY and it also didn't work. I also tried the change to the interactive layer css, but the interactive layer tag, no longer seems to be included in the css file. I believe there is a bug somewhere in the code that doesn't recalculate the data points based on the scroll.

Any progress on this? Really frustrated with nv.d3 so far. Seems super awesome, but it also seems out dated and full of unaddressed bugs.

@Exavior If the issue is the one I ran into, just use the version from this pull request here which has the fix:

novus/nvd3#2215

They apparently still haven't pulled it into the main branch, but this variant works for me. I wonder if the guy who owns this project died or something.
