443580 - Change plot selector tooltip to current number of active daily users for that plot

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Attachment: Graph with application tooltip and overlapping indicators

When you go to a statistics graph under Active daily users, only the plot selectors for application show a tooltip when hovering over the application.

That tooltip (e.g. "{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384} (Firefox)" doesn't add too much info to the label (e.g. "Fx 2.0.0.14").

It would be better to show the current active daily user count for that plot as a tooltip. It is now often hard to see that count in the graph, because the indicators overlap when the values are too close, so if you are interested in only the (current) count of one plot, the only way to see it now, is to remove all the other plots from the graph.

Changing the tooltip as suggested would make it easier, and you could also add the same useful tooltip to the other graphs' plot selectors: Add-on Version, Add-on Status, Operating system.

Adding "static" tooltip to show current count seems useful enough, but you could also consider showing the value for the selected date in the graph.

Fixing bug 416495 might greatly reduce the added value of this tooltip...

New stats pages are coming shortly and they are using highcharts.
