Description Leonidas Arvanitis 2010-11-13 19:29:56 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

Whenever a mouse over tooltip of a widget pops up, it is rendered outside the screen area without taking into account whether it is visible or not (unlike context menus and widgets themselves).



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
a. setup two monitors so that the second one is on the right side and lower than the primary (first screenshot attachment)
b. add a clock widget on the top right of the second monitor
c. mouse over the clock to cause the date tooltip to appear

Actual Results:  
The tooltip is not visible because it is rendered outside the bounds of the monitor. (second screenshot attachment)

Expected Results:  
The tooltip appears on the upper side of the widget _but_ inside the screen.

Correctly display popups when using multiple screens

If there are multiple screens with different resolutions or which
are not alligned the same way then it could happen that popups at
the edge were drawn (partially) offscreen.
This patch fixes that issue.
