OK, which code path is responsible for displaying the tooltip? I could try to debug it.
Comment 5 Burkhard Lück 2015-05-26 06:17:21 UTC
dolphin/src/views/tooltips/ ?
Comment 6 Frank Reininghaus 2015-05-26 16:56:18 UTC
The widget in the tool tip is the MetaDataWidget which is provided by Baloo. It might be a duplicate of bug 340057 (which is already fixed in the KF5-based versions of Baloo).
Comment 7 Ancoron 2015-05-26 21:03:27 UTC
Ha! I just removed some packages which where left over by upgrading my 14.10 to 15.04 and after a recent reboot it now displays the tooltips just fine.

So my guess is now that there was some kind of functional conflict between the current and some old package.

Comment 9 Ancoron 2015-05-26 21:09:55 UTC
Anyone can see any obvious candidate for a conflict in the attached package list?
Comment 10 Vishesh Handa 2015-06-02 13:46:34 UTC
I'm marking this as an installation problem. It works fine over here with the KF5 Baloo-Widgets.
Comment 11 Ancoron 2015-08-16 07:28:38 UTC
Oh my... "WORKSFORME" again... ;-) Well, it does work for me as well but only after cleaning up the system via "apt-get auto-remove", so there really is a conflict which is not handled by the upgrade.
