STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open FireFox on Wayland (native)
2.  Add some search field next to the address bar
3.  Type some text into it
4. Hover the mouse over the icons of the search providers in the selection panel

OBSERVED RESULT
Most of the time the expected tooltip is not shown, but the panel flickers and appears for a fraction of the second in the upper left corner of the Firefox window (not screen!).

Cannot reproduce; works for me on that website with Firefox 100.0 in native Wayland mode and git master KDE stuff.

Let me re-check when I'm on 5.25 :)

Can still reproduce it on 5.25.5 and on git master.

The same happens for me for, when I open the "history" drop down panel of the FF 104.
Comment 6 Vlad Zahorodnii 2022-09-19 08:00:53 UTC
Firefox re-creates the popup surface when hovering tooltips. While kwin should add new subsurfaces when parent is committed, Firefox should not re-create the popup when it wants to show a tooltip.
