SUMMARY Platform popup windows from Firefox are sticky, and once one such popup shows up and you switched to another app or virtual desktop, it won't go away automatically until you hover over it, or move your mouse over any Firefox window again. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Firefox window 2. Hover over any item with a tooltip, such as: tabs, toolbar buttons etc. 3. Switch to another app or desktop, such that no Firefox windows are directly under the cursor anymore. OBSERVED RESULT Popup/tooltip just stays opened forever, until you either "touch" it with a cursor (like hover, but no need to wait), or move the cursor directly over any Firefox window. In my opinion these two conditions are just one "hover mouse directly over any Firefox stuff". EXPECTED RESULT Popup should close automatically when switched to another app. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.14.8-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M/PCIe/SSE2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is not affected by turning compositing on/off.

Created attachment 142042 [details] Sticky tooltip
I've seen this in the past on X11, but it's disappeared ever since I moved to Wayland full-time. Not sure it's a KWin issue. Can you reproduce the issue in a Plasma Wayland session?
Never really tried wayland before; but seems like I'm left with no choice this time around...
I have a similar bug on neon unstable with Opera browser running on Xwayland. Sometimes a tooltip from Opera remains on the screen even when Opera window is no longer focused. But I think Opera bug is related to Xwayland because it also occurs on Wayland session of Gnome. Same bug with tooltip from VLC player on Gnome Wayland: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/22965

On Wayland, popups are placed on the current virtual desktop, unlike override redirect windows, which are rendered on all virtual desktops. On X11, it's cantfix from wm point of view.
I couldn't make Wayland session work; it has something to do with EGLStreams and my NVIDIA GPU. Maybe someday later... but until then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
