Description
Originally discovered and reported by @jonmmease in https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/4377, I think this deserves an issue of its own considering it affects many trace types (at least scatter, image, heatmap and probably many more).
When a panning operation is over (ie. mouse up), a hover label will appear above the data point closest to the position of the mouse when the pan operation was initiated (ie. mouse down).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the mouse-down, pan, and mouse-up interaction described in the issue with scatter, image, and heatmap traces. Trace the hover behavior across those trace types and verify that completing a pan no longer shows a label for the data point near the pan's starting position.
