Bug ID: 509934
Summary: When using a tablet pen the hover state of programs
and icons stay indefinitely
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.1.4
Reported In:
Platform: KDE Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: 1.0

Bug shown with the task manager
SUMMARY
When using a digital tablet, the hover state of popups (eg applications and
icons) persists even when the tablet pen cursor is no longer interacting with
the elements.
These persist despite other actions, such as dragging, using other windows etc,
meaning they can be accidentally triggered or cover up UI.
The hover is only removed if the hover is directed to an empty part of the
panel
I have attached two videos - one showing the Task manager, and another showing
the System tray
At the end of both of these I demonstrate what happens when using a normal
mouse - with it working as expected
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Using a tablet pen, hover over a program or icon (eg notifications)
2. Wait for the popup
3. Move the tablet cursor directly up over the hover and beyond
OBSERVED RESULT
The hover state stays
EXPECTED RESULT
The hover element correctly fades away, as if using a mouse.
