Created attachment 111675 [details] Screenshot showing the issue Title says it all. The minimap preview popup is shown even when window does not have focus. This behavior can be seen on Linux & Windows (the ones I've tested).
Note: The desired behavior would be to *not* show the popup. There are no tooltips shown for the other widgets inside the Kate window (while inactive) either.
We have taken a look and Dominik has some fix ready.
