Hover info is sticky on touch interfaces even after the source graph is changed

On touch interface, hover info displays when a data point is clicked. This is perfect. Although, the info seems to be sticky even after changing the source graph . I haven’t found a straightforward way to change this. I’ve tried using various parameters like clear_on_unhover, hoverData, hoverinfo, selectedpoints. Looks like the interaction gets captured as a click on touch so I tried to work with properties like clickData.

Below is a minimal working example and and some screenshots to illustrate. The app has a dropdown menu and an a graph. The graph changes with the dropdown selection. The hover info lingers even if the graph is change using the dropdown. Ideally, the label could disappear when the source graph is changed. This would be great for a touch interface friendly UX as the hover label is a nice way to pack in more info on a small display like mobile.

Thanks for looking into this! @Coding-with-Adam

Inizia eseguendo l’app Dash minima dell’issue su un’interfaccia touch, selezionando un punto dati e cambiando il grafico sorgente del dropdown. Traccia il modo in cui l’aggiornamento del grafico interagisce con lo stato di click o hover acquisito; il lavoro è completato quando la vecchia etichetta di hover scompare al cambio del grafico sorgente senza compromettere il comportamento di hover touch.
