SUMMARY
Doesn't happen when the button is placed in systray - have tooltip there. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. make sure multiple keyboard layouts are configured
2. add new QML Keyboard Layout applet to panel or desktop (it's already in P-D master)

OBSERVED RESULT
Should have 2 instances of the applet loaded - one on systray and another on panel.
Observe no tooltip on the panel's applet, but systray's one has it.  

EXPECTED RESULT
there should be tooltip on mouse hover

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2020-11-30 22:41:48 UTC 
This is an issue with the code in the applet itself, not PlasmaComponents.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-03-19 23:44:33 UTC 
No longer relevant with the latest version of the code, which seems to use PlasmaCore.ToolTipArea correctly.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2021-03-20 00:48:14 UTC 
Oh I see, it works properly in the System Tray because the System Tray itself adds a tooltip automatically. But the standalone applet still suffers from this problem. You'll need to manually add a PlasmaCore.ToolTipArea.

applets/keyboardlayout: give standalone version a tooltip

When in the System Tray, this applet gets a tooltip drawn for it
automatically by the System Tray contaninment. But when it's a
standalone widget, it needs to do this itself, since it doesn't use the
default CompactRepresentation which provides one automatically.
FIXED-IN: 6.0
