Notice the scrolling stopping when the cursor touches the tooltip/infotip (2.34 MB, video/x-matroska)

Tooltips/infotips aren't scrollable, combined with their fade out, it can be mistaken with lag. (1.37 MB, video/x-matroska)

Notice the scrolling stopping when the cursor touches the tooltip/infotip

I've noticed that these "tooltip/infotip" stops scrolling if the cursor touches it during the scrolling, as the attachment shows.

It doesn't actually stop the scroll, it causes a brief stutter, presumably while it loads the tooltip. Can reproduce. Super duper minor; I'm amazed you even noticed this!

This is going to end up being something in Qt code, though. Please report it upstream, ideally with some sample code to demonstrate the problem to Qt developers.

I won't be able to do that, I know nothing about code.

Tooltips/infotips aren't scrollable, combined with their fade out, it can be mistaken with lag.

At the monitor settings page, if you change the scaling then revert, there will be a notification on top, which notification allows that page to be scrollable.

Thanks to the fact that these notifications doesn't fade out, it proves my initial theory that the tooltips/infotips are not scrollable surface, therefore causing the scrolling to stop. (I'm constantly trying to scroll in the video attachment)

It was mistaken with lag because the fade out effect comes into play quickly and it gives scrollability back.

Please look if the tooltips/infotips boxes are tangible by the cursor in the code.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2024-12-11 17:04:55 UTC
Please stop re-opening closed bug reports.

Like I said, the original issue is in Qt. There's nothing we can do about it here.
