I have a chart/report which has various data points in the graph. Normally, when I mouse over the data points I am given exact values with the timestamp. For some events, my timestamp gets truncated and I am unable to read the exact value in the mouse-over detail window.

Is there a way to increase the size of the mouse-over detail in a chart/report? I want to be able to force the complete (non-truncated) time stamp to be displayed.

Has there been any feature requests in this regard? It seems like most of my timecharts suffer from this. And on top of that, the "..." is placed in the worst possible place. For example, on a 24-hour timechart I see a _time of "2011-01-2...000-05:00" Why not strip off the timezone, or the year? The day, and hours are the only thing that can change between the events on a 24-hour timechart, and those are the two things that get summarized out. That's pretty annoying. It think timechart should be more intelligent out of the box.

One Answer:

The tooltip has a default maximum width of 300 pixels. You can change this in the xml config file for your view by adding the following option to each chart:

<option name="charting.tooltip.maximumWidth">500</option>
