Description KDE Neon user 2016-09-03 19:14:13 UTC 
I'm not sure what "product" to report this to because it affects any theme, not just Breeze.

Tooltips are unreadable on GTK+2 applications by default. You can test it with MComix (available on the Ubuntu repositories).

I tested different combinations of Plasma themes and GTK application styles. I also unchecked "Apply colors to non-QT applications" on the Color settings. The problem still persisted.

The only solution I've found to this problem is commenting out these lines in ~/.config/gtkrc-2.0 : 

widget "gtk-tooltip" style "ToolTip"
widget "gtk-tooltips" style "ToolTip"

Adding # before these lines make the applications use the default tooltips of my current KDE Plasma theme.

Reproducible: Always
