Description
Hello,
I’ve encountered an issue when using Plotly’s scatter plot. When I select specific points on the scatter graph and then try to hover over those selected points, the tooltip fails to appear. This behavior is inconsistent with how tooltips normally function on the plot, where they display the relevant data for each point when hovered over.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a scatter plot with multiple data points.
- Select one or more points on the graph.
- Hover over the selected points.
- Notice that the tooltip does not appear for the selected points.
you can find an example in Plotly's documentation :

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior using the Plotly JavaScript line-and-scatter example linked in the issue: select points, then hover over them. Trace the scatter plot selection and hover behavior, and consider the issue complete when selected points show the same relevant tooltip data as unselected points.
