(In reply to Burkhard Lueck from comment #3) > Not reproducable, tooltips are displayed here. OK, which code path is responsible for displaying the tooltip? I could try to debug it.
dolphin/src/views/tooltips/ ?
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).
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.

Anyone can see any obvious candidate for a conflict in the attached package list?
I'm marking this as an installation problem. It works fine over here with the KF5 Baloo-Widgets.
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.
