Can confirm.

Can anyone still reproduce this on current Plasma? I tried a couple of different ways, but I only get the tooltip after hovering for the regular amount, and it does not appear after already clicking the icon. (It does stick around for a frame or two after clicking the icon, but this is also true for other Plasma tooltips. e.g. on Widgets)
