Chart Legend ToolTips not hiding

[tmancini]

It appears this used to be a bug with the chart ToolTips, but I am noticing the same issue with the legend ToolTip. With the chart, the ToolTip displays and hides once you move the mouse outside of the container, however the Legend's ToolTips do not hide at all. This is the code contained inside of my class that extends Chart.

    final Legend<T> legend = new Legend<T>();
    legend.setPosition(Position.RIGHT);
    legend.setItemHighlighting(true);
    legend.setItemHiding(true);
    
    final LegendToolTipConfig<T> legendConfig = new LegendToolTipConfig<T>();
    legendConfig.setDismissDelay(0);
    legendConfig.setHideDelay(0);
    
    legend.addLegendItemOverHandler(new LegendItemOverHandler() {
      @Override
      public void onLegendItemOver(LegendItemOverEvent event) {
        if(getElement() != null) {
          legendConfig.setBodyHtml(getToolTipText(store, event.getIndex()));
          legend.setToolTipConfig(legendConfig);
        }
      } 
    });
    
    setLegend(legend);

This is the other thread I was referring to:

Thanks, I'll move this thread to the bugs forum and file it internally.

At present, of the setters you used on the LegendToolTipConfig, the setHideDelay will have no effect, though this isn't well documented, and we may be able to fix this.

A workaround, for your consideration: Try adding a handler to the legend for the LegendItemOutHandler, and invoke Legend.getToolTip().hide() when that handler goes off. In my brief testing, this has worked:

    legend.addLegendItemOutHandler(new LegendItemOutHandler() {
      @Override
      public void onLegendItemOut(LegendItemOutEvent event) {
        legend.getToolTip().hide();
      }
    });

We'll update this thread when we have a fix available.
