[krunner] Use non-glitchy tooltip (!659) · Merge requests · Plasma / Plasma Workspace

Nate Graham requested to merge ngraham/plasma-workspace:use-non-glitchy-tooltip into master Feb 19, 2021

We ported to use PlasmaComponents3, including tooltips, but PC3 ToolTips suffer from https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428191, causing a glitchy appearance when the window is very short. Normally this is not a problem, but it is for KRunner, whose window is very short when not displaying any results.

Ultimately the right solution is to fix that bug by making PC3 ToolTips appear in a small separate window, but until that happens, we can work around the problem by using PlasmaCore.ToolTipArea instead.

One side effect is that the tooltip becomes rather large, but better this than glitchy.
