--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Currently the Task Manager tooltips have exactly the same size no matter the
window's size or aspect ratio, by design. This unavoidably results in extra
padding anytime the window's aspect ratio does not exactly match the aspect
ratio of the tooltip, as you've discovered. If we wanted to reduce the padding
in the case you've presented, we'd have to throw all that away and make the
tooltip size dynamic and match the window's aspect ratio.
But if we did that, there would be a problem: for tall and skinny windows with
long titles (such as windows that have been tiled to the left or right side of
the screen), their titles would get elided or wrap only to many lines, and that
would be quite ugly and non-functional.
If instead we made the size dynamic but imposed a minimum width to avoid that,
then the tooltip size would seem arbitrary to users, and we'd get different bug
reports saying, "sometimes the tooltip fits the window perfectly, and sometimes
it doesn't."
In the end we had to pick one of these imperfect options, and we picked the
simple and consistent option of just making the tooltip have the same size no
matter the window's aspect ratio. I don't think we can change it without
creating regressions for other use cases, sorry.
