Mouse pointer changes to pointing-finger icon when hovered over Credits in Vaadin Charts 2.
Originally by basil.bourque
In Vaadin Charts 2, when hovering over the Credits of a Chart, the mouse pointer changes from the usual arrowhead to the icon of a hand with a pointing finger. The icon is similar to the image seen in attached file. That change in icon inappropriate because there is no clickable or draggable action offered by the Credits widget within a Chart.
In contrast, the same arrow-to-pointing-finger happens when hovering over a legend item (the name of the Series). That indicates to the user that she may click to show/hide that Series line on the chart. This is appropriate. But the Credits offers no such interaction, so the mouse pointer should remain the same (the usual arrowhead).

Technically, the credits is a link pointing to the URL set in the "href" field of the Credits object. However, if you do not specify this URL, a click will do nothing.
Would you prefer that the credits be regarded as just text when no href value is set?

I suppose so.
Currently I use the Credits a workaround for the lack of tooltips on the chart's title, subtitle, series labels, etc. I keep most of the chart's textual pieces short, then pack details into the Credits. Details include the source of the data, date-time when data was captured, expanding acronyms & abbreviations, explaining technical terms, and so on.
