Recently I have in Dolphin tooltips very annoying, that prevent me to see and manage files, because the row of a file is under the tooltip.
here my system:
Operating System: KDE neon User Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0
Qt Version: 6.9.3
Kernel Version: 6.14.0-35-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics
Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (13,5 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics
Are you talking about this?
If so, just scroll down. There’s always room for the label when fully scrolled to the bottom of the view. No different than if the status bar were full-length.
Thank you. No, I was talking about this
The problem is mainly if you have few files (to preview) or if the image has portrait rather than landscape format, because in this way it cover the file, as you can see in my example above.
But I found a workaround: in Dolphin → settings → view → miscellaneous - > deselect show item information.
I’m having this except same problem: pointing the mouse at a file/folder for a second brings up a preview - which I want - but that preview now covers the file so I can’t click it anymore.
This doesn’t happen anywhere on the screen, but mostly in the lower half - when the preview is too big to be completely displayed beneath the pointer, it is simply moved up a bit (but not above the mouse pointer, but just enough so it can be fully displayed), and ends up covering the file being previewed. So a combination of a) position of the file on the screen and b) size of the preview decides if it is displayed below or above the pointer. The problem happens only when Dolphin tries to display it below, but it’s too big
So basically if you want to click something, you can’t hover the pointer over it first, you have to go there and click immediately, before the time limit set for displaying the preview (feels like it’s 1 sec.).
The solution doesn’t work for me, because it’s a workaround: I want the preview, but it shouldn’t cover the previewed element, so I can still click it.
That’s reported https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455645
