Created attachment 169689 [details] Incorrect Tooltip Behaviour SUMMARY When the Filelight tooltip displays to the *right* of the mouse cursor (i.e. when it has enough room to display on the right), then it displays very slightly to the right and down of the mouse cursor, like a tooltip with some padding. But when the Filelight tooltip displays to the *left* of the mouse cursor, it is offset, and the further to the *right* that the mouse cursor goes, the further to the *left* that the tooltip goes. In other words moving the cursor to the right of the window moves the tooltip *further away* from the cursor, and moving it to the right moves the tooltip *closer to* the cursor. As it gets closer it eventually has enough space to display to the right of the cursor again and so fades back to being beside the cursor as described above, and displays normally. I have attached a screenshot of the offset tooltip. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Filelight 2. Move the cursor far enough to the right of the window so that the tooltip appears on the left of the cursor - The window may need to be reduced in size to make this easier to accomplish 3. Observe tooltip being on the incorrect side of the window. OBSERVED RESULT Tooltip displays away from the mouse when to the left of the cursor. EXPECTED RESULT Tooltip behaves the same on the left side of the cursor as it does on the right. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.9.1 Linux Zen KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I don't remember this happening in Plasma 5.X, but unsure if it affected all versions of Plasma 6. I took a look at the code but wasn't sure why this was happening, I couldn't find the logic that flips the tooltip. I looked for other applications I have installed that use Kirigami which have the same dynamic tooltips as Filelight but couldn't find any, I wanted to see if they have the same behaviour and if not what they do on their side to fix the problem. But I came up short.
Which version of filelight is this?
Filelight 24.02.2, the latest version available for my distribution (Arch Linux). Filelight 24.05 is in the Testing repos currently, so I have not yet had a chance to test it.
Updated my system and I now have access to Filelight 24.05.0. The issue persists. I have updated my system information below. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.9.2 Linux Zen KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1
Thanks!
