Hi. After upgrading from plasma 5.11 to 5.12 i've noticed that Application Dashboard stopped showing tooltips.
Probably caused by the mouse vs keyboard changes, there's now a MouseArea in ItemGridView which is ontop of the GridView, so the ToolTip never gets the mouse event.
I can confirm, that it's not showing toolips for launchers anymore. It's especially annoying since dashboard cuts long launcher titles, so often it's impossible to know that the name is when there are several ones starting the same way.
