You could try to reproduce with the System Load Viewer in playground. Another way I can reproduce is something like this: - hover over system load viewer applet -> tooltip and plasmoid-handle appear - move the mouse over the plasmoid-handle above the tooltip, be quick, somehow the tooltip should not disappear - now leaving the tooltip without hitting the plasmoid will get you "free", i.e. now the tooltip stays there forever :) It's certainly very rare cases where this can happen, but it does happen.
