[Solved]-Tooltip in chart with line- and scatter plot in highcharts 3.0.7-Highcharts

in my case, i was looking for something like the error bar chart, but with a few changes:

• share the same yaxis (both column and error are about the same nature)
• no errorbar margin for the columns (but need to keep them for the dots)
• use of scatter instead of spline (since the y's aren't connected through time)

so, from the highcharts' error bar fiddle, i came up with the same broken tooltip fiddle for my case.

digging at the problem, i found that as per highcharts' shared tooltips documentation:

tooltip texts for series types with ordered data (not pie, scatter, flags etc) will be shown in a single bubble.

so, it really don't make sense to expect a shared tooltip for the scatter option.

as a solution, i came up with the very same op's solution.

set the type as spline (even it doesn't make much sense at first) and remove the line by setting linewidth: 0 to appear like a scatter plot, so it is simulated something like an ordered scatter plot chart, as shown in this working fiddle.
