Can reproduce on Tuxedo OS, same Plasma version.

Looks like a keyboard accelerator marker is not properly getting removed, similar to #488578

I recall this being caused in the past by the tooltip being implemented using attached ToolTip properties instead of separate ToolTip objects.  And I see that this particular's button is implemented using attached ToolTip properties. However I cannot seem to reproduce the bug for that particular button's tooltip.

However I can reproduce it if I manually add a & to the beginning of the text for the Pin button, which also uses attached ToolTip properties.

Amusingly, bug 472670 describes an issue that only affects non-attached tooltips, so it seems like right now we're trading off one bug for another, depending on the implementation.
