SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the Brave browser and maximize window
2. Hover over the launcher and pinned apps in the application bar

OBSERVED RESULT
Hover text/tool tip text will not appear as the correct width. The launcher text can appear too wide, whereas the neighboring Dolphin app icon text can appear too narrow. Moving the mouse back and forth results in text that is the correct width and incorrect width.

EXPECTED RESULT
All hover text/tool tip text should appear the correct width

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2025-06-17 16:51:15 UTC

This was fixed in Plasma 6.4.0 where we removed the effect that caused the issue, as we couldn't figure out a way to fix it without regressing other things.

Comment 2 Todd Robinson 2025-06-19 23:42:35 UTC

Thanks for your reply. As it would turn out, my Plasma has been updated to 6.4.0 but the issue has not been resolved. Please let me know if you need any additional details from me.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2025-06-20 16:41:41 UTC

Well that's unexpected! If you go into System Settings > Window Management > Desktop Effects, is there an effect there called "Morphing popups"?

Comment 4 Todd Robinson 2025-06-20 19:46:17 UTC

I do not see a desktop effect named "morphing popups" in the list, and searching for keywords "pop" or "morph" in the Desktop Effects dialog return no results.

Comment 5 Todd Robinson 2025-11-04 18:38:33 UTC

Issue continues in Plasma 6.5.1.
