Scatter Y-Axis Not Marked Correctly when Hovered Over

[philbourne77]

When you hover over a scatter point (even on the examples) the Y-Axis Point is not in the correct position (ie. It is normally lower/higher on the Y-Axis). ie. https://plot.ly/python/line-and-scatter/

Tested in Chrome, IE Edge and IE11 Using the latest Python Releases.

I'm guessing you are in the default "compare data on hover" mode (layout.hovermode: 'x'), which only pays attention to the X position of the mouse so it can compare multiple traces at that same X value. "show closest data on hover" (layout.hovermode: 'closest') is probably what you want.

This has generated a lot of confusion, we've long talked about making a smarter default - eg #778
