Bug Description

This is a fairly trivial visual bug. As you mouse-over items in the application menu, the tooltips are inconsistent in their placement. This is in the 22.04 daily - but also exist in 20.04.3. It is most notable when you've moved the mouse down and then back up - but it's sometimes visually significant.

Obviously, I expect the behavior to be consistent.

I'll attach a video from a real instance, as this is being filed inside my daily test box's VM. The video will make it more clear.

Adding video attachment:

See attached.

Again, it's a pretty trivial bug but it was suggested that I report it. The video explains it better. Where it's highlighted is where the mouse is, as the recording didn't capture the pointer.

It's also inconsistent in 20.04.3.

We've spoken about this twice?, my last message attempted to allude to my notice that the 'tooltips' appears to be drawn in two positions dependent on whether or not mouse pointer is over the top or bottom half of the menu items.

I've not looked at the code, but I get the feeling if you stop the mouse on the lower portion of the item (eg. KDE Partition Manager) the tooltip is drawn lower than if you'd stopped the mouse on the upper portion of "KDE Partition Manager'.

How we experience this may vary on resolution (of our monitors), or other factors I've not even considered.

Can you understand what I've tried to express here? (or in my prior message which I've not looked at in hopes I'd used clearer words here). Would this explain it?

(It could also be I'm not critical enough; given my hand dexterity is less than ideal, so my mouse movements won't be smooth.. thus what I'm seeing. Comment after just finished play on Lubuntu 2022.02.18.1 play on d755-8 (1920x1200) but it's
the same as jammy on my primary/d960 box (1920x1080))

(box names are mentioned only for me; should I need to re-create/re-test)

FWIW, it happens at various resolutions. I test in different resolutions, depending on the day and the box.

(And you're the one who suggested I report it! *grins*)

As mentioned, it's remarkably trivial.

Is this still an issue in Jammy or Mantic?
