Description Tech-Tac 2025-11-09 17:38:27 UTC 
SUMMARY
Tooltips for the various buttons and application icons in the Application Launcher applet appear to be noticeably offset to the upper/bottom left from where one would expect them to be.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open application launcher
2. Hover over the "Keep open" icon, for example
3. Observe tooltip position

OBSERVED RESULT
Tooltip appears greatly shifted to the left and to the bottom

EXPECTED RESULT
Within close proximity to the icon being hovered or the mouse cursor, and horizontally centered where possible.

Okay this seems to also be happening with QtQuick apps in general for me too.

Far tooltip in system settings

And here in System Settings' Power Management page, the tooltip can be seen shifted to the right, still away from both the cursor and the button it is attached to.
