Cannot see exact figures for all packages in stats when an account has too many packages

[Montandalar]

Summary

There is an issue with the JavaScript chart viewer for package statistics pages where it cannot show the exact figures for a date when there are too many packages. The issue is probably not the fault of ContentDB but of upstream (chart.js I think?)

Steps to reproduce

Go to the mt-mods stats page and hover over the chart without filtering any packages out. Notice that only about 1/3 of the packages are listed in the hover text since there are so many, and moreover those are the bottom 1/3 of packages not the top 1/3.

Workarounds

• Exclude packages until you have an amount visible that won't overflow
• Use your own visualisation with the JSON format data provided

Suggested fixes

Fixes would probably have to involve a lot of rework like forking upstream. It also works within the confines of a canvas. Still, I will provide them as ideas:

• Scrollwheel to go up and down the tooltip list
• Drawing an additional column of the list each time it overflows until they are all visible
