I agree. I very much dislike the tooltips in widget explorer blocking the search field for example.

That one made me laugh :) I've had that issue quite a few times. I think the best thing to do here letting the popup fade away if the mouse if hovered over it. I will try to make a patch for this one this week and see if it gets accepted. Still a severe usability issue in 4.9rc2. Well if you click on tooltip they goes away. Using KDE 4.10.97 Arch Linux packages. Still an issue with Plasma 5.2. Easy to reproduce: just click right mouse button to trigger context menu before tooltip shows up (there is quite a big delay!); then it shows above the context menu making it unreachable. Clicking however is processed by context menu and not by tooltip; so it is easy to trigger menu item you can't even see.

I obviously did't keep my promise to make a patch :) I gladly leave this to the more skilled people. I tried plasma 5.2 just a few days ago and instantly noticed this issue is still here. I was actually going to create a bug report for it, but apparently this bug report is still alive. I don't really know where to put this bug now. Frameworks-plasma, desktop? (i've set it to that). Please correct it if this is wrong. Can't reproduce it with Plasma 5.4: either popup isn't shown (when context menu opens before it) or it disappears (after). Closing as RESOLVED:FIXED - confirmed Igor's findings from 5.4 - tooltips disappear almost instantly on mouseover. |
