SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.20.0
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Can be reproduced in both Wayland and X11 sessions.
GPU is Mesa DRI Intel G41.
I've tried tooltips in other programs (based on QML, Qt Widgets, Gtk+) and they do not show this problem.
Comment 1 Alexander Lohnau 2020-10-24 18:58:25 UTC 
That is an issue with the port to the PlasmaComponents3 toolkit. I am reassigning it there.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2020-10-26 15:15:20 UTC 
Heh yeah. :(

The problem is that we ported (nearly) everything to use PlasmaComponents3, which uses QtQuickControls2, because QtQuickControls1 is deprecated and is slated to be removed in Qt 6. However the QQC2 Tooltip isn't a separate window, so when it is displayed inside a parent window that is very small, it necessarily needs to be smaller, which caused glitches like this.

Some possible solutions:
- Make PC3/QQC2 tooltips use a separate window
- Port KRunner to use PlasmaCore.ToolTip, which already uses a separate window, but it doesn't respect the color scheme's tooltip colors
