In Geocharts, when the using html tooltips, the 'select' event listener won't get triggered
on iOS devices. 

tooltip: {isHtml: false} = Select Listener will work. > http://jsfiddle.net/cmoreira/LFrdP/
tooltip: {isHtml: true} = Select Listener will NOT work in iOS > http://jsfiddle.net/cmoreira/NBMs5/


What component is this issue related to (PieChart, LineChart, DataTable,
Query, etc)?
GEOCHART

Are you using the test environment (version 1.1)?
Tried with 1 and 1.1, doesn't work in both versions


What operating system and browser are you using?
iOS

After a quick investigation, I have determined that the reason this is happening is
because the wrong element gets the click event. I can't imagine why this would happen,
since our codepath as it relates to events within the GeoChart itself does not change
when you switch to an HTML tooltip. We may be able to circumvent the issue by using
touch events instead of click, hover, etc., but this seems more like a Safari bug than
anything else. However, before reporting the bug to them, we would need a distilled
example, which I'm not confident we can generate, as I'm not entirely sure what is
causing the event to fall through.

I will investigate both of these possibilities eventually, but due to the amount of
unknowns in this issue, I do not have an ETA for you.

Thank you for looking into this! 
I tested in other browsers in iOS, it doesn't seem to work on Chrome and Dolphin also.
In case the info helps.

Hi, thanks for checking. 

Looks like it's related to iOS. I checked also on Android and works fine.

Verified that this is also a problem for a 'regionClick' event as well on iOS 7, if
the tooltip is set to HTML.

Hi everyone,

It's still unclear to us what exactly is causing this issue, but whatever it is, it
appears to be a Safari bug. The reason it's happening in Chrome and Dolphin is because
those browser effectively use Safari WebViews, and those will work in the same ways
and have the same bugs as Safari.

Hi
Seems this issue is still present after one year and several updates on Safari.
Is there any workaround we can implement to have the HTML tooltips with the select event working on iOS devices?

Hi guys 4 years down the road from initial report but we're still getting complaints that charts (tooltips) are misbehaving on Safari/Chrome on iOS. Any news on a fix or workaround?
