### Description
The WCAG guidelines have the following criteria for hover bubbles:
https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#content-on-hover-or-focus
Relevant text quoted below:
```
Hoverable
If pointer hover can trigger the additional content, then the pointer can be moved over the additional content without the additional content disappearing;
```
This is not met by the hover tooltips provided by VictoryChart currently - when hovering over the content that pops up, the content disappears since the user is no longer hovering over the relevant point.
