More than a year later there has been no activity on this bug. Am I the only one being bugged by this? I'd consider this something that would annoy a new user within the first 15 minutes, if they were to run a Wayland session.

Is this really dolphin, or is kwin actually deciding on the placement of tooltips?

Tooltip feature is not widely used AFAICT. That's the main reason why and bug triaging low time resources.

The compositor indeed (kwin) or Qt itself, not sure here.

It seems Plasma6 has this fixed, the tooltip now is partly offscreen instead of covering the icon.

So I think we can wait for Plasma6 and you can update the bug afterwards.

This is kind of a Qt issue.  It's a long battle with usptream:
