Created attachment 162367 [details] Tooltip popup hovering over an event whose description contains long links. The links are badly formatted and are not clickable. SUMMARY When hovering the mouse over an event in the calendar part of the Digital Clock widget, and the event has long links, the tooltip that pops up is badly formatted, the text overruns the tooltip and covers part of the desktop. Links are also not clickable. Unfortunately the tooltip is the only way to view the content of the event - clicking on the event itself does nothing. As a result, when an event contains a link (such as a video conference invitation), there is no way to access the link other than looking up the event in another app such as KOrganizer or Merkuro. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install KDEPIM, configure Digital Clock to show a calendar with events that have long links 2. Hover mouse over one of these events until a tooltip appears OBSERVED RESULT A tooltip pops up that is badly formatted, the text for long links overruns the edge of the tooltip and covers other parts of the UI (see attached screenshot with a link from a MS Teams invitation). EXPECTED RESULT An informative, good-looking display whose text does not overrun the border and does not cover other parts of the desktop. A way to access event content that makes links should clickable.

The issue with links not being clickable was reported in bug 429700. This is a fundamental issue with tooltips. However, in the era of video conferencing, events with links are common. So in the absence of clickable links in tooltips, there should be some other UI for accessing the content of an event from Digital Clock - maybe double-clicking the event should open it in a calendar app or something.
