Bug ID: 444819
Summary: [Wayland] Plasmashell panel does not correctly display
tooltips relying on translucency and blur when
hovering from one applet to the other
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.2
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel

W/ Aritim-Light Plasma Theme, blur is not applied on the rightmost side
SUMMARY
On Wayland, whenever you move the mouse cursor from one applet to the other
hovering over them, the tooltips displayed are not correctly rendered.
Artifacts are in fact visible mostly on the right side of the tooltip, where
translucency is applied but no blur.
This is especially visible on PlasmaThemes heavily relying on transparency and
blur, such as Aritim-Light-Rounded-Blur. Nevertheless, the problem is visible,
although in a less extent, also with default Breeze Plasma Theme. I'm attaching
some screenshots as example.
I searched for similar issue but couldn't find anything, a part bug 422072 and
clones, which I believe is deeply linked to the issue I'm reporting right now.
I'm in fact experiencing that bug as well.
I'm no KDE dev but I believe the freeze on 422072 is due to this incomplete
rendering, once invoked multiple times hovering over the applets many times,
with a culprit on the Digital Clock (and Event Calendar).
I believe such artifacts may have been left unnoticed since on default Breeze
PlasmaTheme it is quite difficult to notice them (but actually quite easy on
Aritim-Light, which is a way less common Plasma Theme)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Place the cursor on Icons-Only Task Manager or System Tray applets, wait
until the hovering causes tooltips to be drawn;
2. Move your cursor to hover on different task icon/applets and notice some
artifacts, especially on the right side of the tooltip, indicating the tooltip
is not correctly rendered;
3. Install Aritim-Light-Rounded-Blur (or any other Plasma Theme relying on
transparency and blur more than Breeze) and you should notice the artifacts way
better
OBSERVED RESULT
Tooltips are drawn incorrectly, presenting graphical issue on their right side.
EXPECTED RESULT
Tooltips should be rendered correctly in their entireness.
