Most do, at least for my System Tray. A lot of your examples do seem useful to me. But I agree that "Wayland to X11 Video Bridge" is not useful. I foresee two things we can do here: 1. For software under our control, give it a better tooltip! 2. In the System Tray, suppress any tooltip whose text is identical to the visible text. This should prevent the issue for 3rd-party apps not under our control. Let's use this bug report for #2. For #1, can you open new bug reports for every kde app or widget whose tooltip doesn't feel useful to you? Note that surfacing usage hints in the tooltip is definitely intentional; this is even the original usage of tooltips, in fact. So I don't foresee us removing that stuff. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
