SUMMARY When setting System Settings > Desktop Behavior > Workspace > Show informational tips to off, kwin still shows tooltips when hovering the titlebar controls. Tried with the default breeze decoration. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Change System Settings > Desktop Behavior > Workspace > Show informational tips to off 2. Hover some control on the window toolbar OBSERVED RESULT The titlebar controls are still showing tooltips EXPECTED RESULT No tooltips shown, like every other widget SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Archlinux and Neon 5.14 KDE Plasma: 5.14.3 Qt: 5.11.2 KDE Frameworks: 5.52.0
I'm not sure whether this setting should influence KWin. It's for desktop behavior, not window manager behavior.
>No tooltips shown, like every other That setting doesn't even cover apps, only plasmashell. The title of that KCM was unfortunately renamed to be confusing. What concerns me most is that this is probably just requested as a workaround for the bug about showing tooltips when we have an open menu.

At first I tried to disable the tooltips as a workaround, but I opened this issue because I was expecting that the aforementioned setting was made to toggle all tooltip, including those in the window decoration.
