followPointer - tooltip should hide when it gets far away from the original data point
followPointer is a cool feature on a bubble chart, but it needs to close the tooltip when the pointer moves a fair distance away from the bubble, perhaps when it's something like half maxSize away. At the moment you can push the tooltip from one side of the chart to the other so the tooltip is out of context, which feels buggy.

Yeah, this is important. To a ordinary user, this fault gives the impression that the chart overall is buggy. If this can't be fixed, better to turn the 'following around' feature off.
