this is done because the hover points in the dom are inside .u-over and should not be clipped at the edges of the plotting area. the cursor is also inside .u-over, but it should be clipped, because hiding it can simply be setting its coordinates to -10,-10. this is currently not possible so, there's extra code that actually applies or removes a .u-off class with display: none:
so, the broader issue is that sometimes we want to put things into .u-over for the benefits of using relative positioning, but sometimes need clipping at the edges (large hover points) and other times not (tooltips / menus):
for this to be possible we a additional div within .u-over that has position: absolute; overflow: hidden; width: 100%; height: 100%. maybe called .u-clipped or .u-inner and a uPlot option that instructs where to put the hover points, and provide a place to put unclipped dom things, like tooltips.
