Hello, I'm trying to show a tooltip in a (XY) Chart, however when I hover over one of the points that is close to the edge, the content gets clipped by the border of the embedded view... Has anybody found an elegant way to solve this?

Edit: If the points are too high, they also get clipped

Try setting the style.overflow on the chart to `visible`
