It's a tooltip bug when the panel is at the bottom. Confirmed for xfce. Started with Mageia 7. Other distributions have the same issue. Seems to be a Xfce4 4.14 (gtk3) bug, but only with a few apps in the notification area. https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14967 Workaround, panel preferences, check: "Don't reserve space on borders".

shybluenight Another workaround is to reduce the panel height (works in both Xfce and Cinnamon). Below a certain size (which seems to display-dependent), the tooltips appear above the panel rather than below. CC:

mageia Confirmed Chris B's workaround is effective for me. I'm puzzled if it is a blanket tooltip bug though - why does it only seem to affect these two applets? Summary:

Netapplet/Mgaapplet tooltips off bottom of screen with Cinammon or Xfce There seems to be two different tooltip styles. In Cinnamon they are visually very distinct. If you use the Cinnamon NetworkManager applet, it uses the other tooltip style and doesn't suffer from this bug, but if you use the generic NetworkManager applet, it uses the same tooltip style as the Mageia applets and does suffer from this bug.

Netapplet/Mgaapplet/nm_applet tooltips off bottom of screen with Cinammon or Xfce Sorry for leaving this so long. Thank you Mark for the report; and Chris & Martin for your insights and pointers. Seems we must await a fix from upstream. Assigning to the Xfce packager. URL:
