Description

When I change the data in the it renders and shows the updated data but the tooltip labels are wrong...they're always showing the first x-axis label: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35447775/why-are-the-chartjs-tooltip-labels-always-showing-the-first-x-axis-label

Setting redraw to true resolves the issue, but this seems like a weird approach.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the LineChart component's lifecycle and how data updates are passed to chart.js. Check if labels are correctly updated when data changes, focusing on the tooltip label update mechanism. Consider the effect of the redraw prop and why it resolves the issue.
