My concern with this is that Plasma's tooltip appearance is currently very ugly: When you move between two bottom panel tooltips of different vertical size, as it resizes, the lower edge of the tooltip will "detach" from the panel. It looks like the tooltip "jumps" in a Flappy Bird-like manner. This looks so embarassingly shoddy and bad I consider it unshippable to end users. I think until we fix this, we should avoid making tooltips different heights at all costs.

+1 for me for the patch

uhm, no? here the tooltip stays well attached to the panel edge during transition, i wouldn't want it to behave in any way different?

Not on my system: If I move the cursor from a window (tall tooltip) to a launcher (small tooltip), the lower tooltip edge detaches from the panel by 2-3mm and moves back down during animation. Looks goofy.

I recently did some changes to the text labels already to avoid most vertical size changes between tasks, because the tooltip hopping moving the cursor across the panel was so so bad.

can you do a screencast? is not supposed to do that
(here doesn't but maybe because it's low dpi?)

ewwww..
here doesn't do it at all :/ don't know how to reproduce
ùcan you make sure that you are using the proper "morphing popups" effect, not a locally modified version in ~/.local
and iirc there was also another version, probably on ghns floating around, that both may be enabled?

also, if this problem happens only for you, it still has to be found out why, but the patch should go forward

Morphing popups is enabled, and I never had any other version ...
