I think this is mainly about this: - mouse over systemloadviewer -> tooltip shows - tooltip updates eg every 2 seconds -> we call setContent again and again - sometimes it happens that the tooltip does not go away even when the mouse left the plasmoid So sometimes the autohide does not work. I was able to reproduce this like this: I hvae two instances of the systemloadviewer side by side. - hover over plasmoid1 - hover over plasmoid2 - now tooltip moves in an animation to plasmoid2. Now *during* this animation change the desktop (maybe now the plasmoid does not get a mouse leave event or such...). Now the tooltip will never go away, which is probably a bug :) I cannot reproduce it always like this, but playing around with it finally reveales this behaviour. Maybe there are other ways to reproduce this.
