I can't reproduce this on my system (git master, AMD GPU, Wayland). Can you attach a screen recording showing it happening? Thanks!

Thanks. Does the issue still happen in a new clean user account created on the same computer, with no customizations applied?
Comment 4 mao492479407 2025-10-24 02:59:46 UTC 
Sorry, I have not test that，i just found this issue accidentally
and i found that the Kcal application just has higher possibility for this issue to happen🙃

I will provide more information if i find ,just need some time...🙃
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2025-10-24 17:51:21 UTC 
Never mind, I can reproduce it. I have to position the pointer in a location where the tooltip will overlap when it appears. It's never supposed to overlap, so there's some positioning bug somewhere.
