SUMMARY
The dock contains many applications that can be hovered over to show their name, and if they are open a small box will also appear showing a preview. When using a laptop with a touchscreen, hovering a pen over the application will cause their name/preview box to show. Hovering the pen anywhere else on the screen that is not the panel will cause the dialogue to stay showing indefinitely until another item on the panel is hovered over, or in the case of an empty section of the panel the dialogue will properly close. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Use KDE on a laptop with a touchscreen and a pen
2.  Hover the pen over the touchscreen, and a cursor will appear, but as it is only hovered it will not detect a click
3.  Hover the pen over any item on the panel, such as the Network applet or an application like Firefox
4.  Either lift pen away from touchscreen until no longer showing, or move the pen towards the middle of the screen without hovering over the panel again

OBSERVED RESULT
Text stays present on the icons above them

EXPECTED RESULT
Text should disappear, as the icons are no longer hovered over

"Active Window Control" is an archived widget for Plasma 5, it is not involved here.

It's not quite clear to me where this should be filed. Does this apply to tooltips everywhere, or only the ones on the panel/"dock"? Assigning to plasmashell for now, as you only talk about panel widgets in the report.

This seems like it might be related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437506 - A panel set to auto hide doesn't hide after being invoked with a touch gesture.
The commonality is something not being dismissed if you're not using a mouse / touchpad

Seems like the countdown for the tooltip is only triggered if the cursor is moved to an empty part of the panel -> works like intended.
If you move from an Icon directly to the desktop or another app the tooltip stays forever. (No countdown/timer triggered ?)

So far I can only reproduce this on the panel -> moving to plasmashell panel
