On Plasma 5.7 beta on Wayland, the animation introduced in Plasma 5.6.0 when hovering the Panel elements and moving the pointer between them, does not work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hover any item in the Plasma panel 2. Move the pointer to another panel item 3. Actual Results: No smooth animation
I suppose you're refering to the tooltips? Indeed, I recall the "morphing popups" effect not working on Wayland.
The effect works just fine - for X11 windows it works. But we don't have a tooltip type for Wayland yet, thus it doesn't work for the Plasma Tooltips.
Yes, I was refering to the morphing tooltip effect introduced in Plasma 5.6 I think.

Changes mentioned in comment #4 are integrated.
I don't know if this is the exact same bug, but : on Plasma 5.8 beta, the plasma tooltips have a weird behavior. i'll try to explain : Smooth transition works now on Wayland, BUT there is one thing wrong : they "remember" the last position of the tooltip when they shouldn't. I mean : if you hover the mouse pointer on the clock in the systray for example, the tooltip shows the time and date, which is fine. Then if you move your pointer away, the tooltip disappears, which is good. But now, if you move the pointer to another element of the panel, a launcher (icon) for example, this is where the weird thing happens : on X11, the tooltip appears on the icon, which is the expected behavior. But on Wayland, the tooltip remembers last time it was on the clock, and then, it slides from the clock to the icon (unexpected behavior). The tooltip should just appear on the icon like it does on X11 instead of sliding from the last element.
