Reference error in 8.1 - Highcharts.SVGRenderer.prototype

[andrewtaylor]

Expected behaviour

Displaying a pie chart with no data should work when using Highcharts as an import, for example in an Angular application (ie not as a global reference).

Actual behaviour

The fix to #13229 seems to have introduced a global reference to Highcharts which causes the following error in our application when displaying an empty pie chart:

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: Highcharts
    at n.drawEmpty (...)
    at n.redrawPoints (...)
    at n.render (...)

Live demo with steps to reproduce

Open a pie chart with no data in an application that imports Highcharts rather than using a global variable.

Product version

Highcharts 8.1.1+

Affected browser(s)

Tested with Chrome 83.
