Description of problem: The tooltip displaying under the top panel displays underneath (as expected), but with text starting to the right of the line of the right side of the applet icon or text. By default, the (text mode) clock applet displays to the right, so if the date is not displayed in the panel (to give more space), it is no longer visible in the tooltip. (Displaying almost entirely off screen.) If the clock applet is moved to the left so the date shows in the clock applet tooltip, the tooltips of one or more applets still at the right are no longer visible. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Same as panel. How reproducible: Move the mouse over any applet on or near the right of the top panel. This may also affect the bottom panel, which I don't use. Others may confirm. Note that the tooltip might be controlled by another application, but I have no idea which. To help determine this, I tested a few other applications (in alpha order). Hope this helps. Except for tooltips at the top controlled by the maté window manager (marco), this problerm also affects certain applications of maté (atril, caja, engrampa, eom, mate-color-select, mate-dictionary, pluma), as well as abiword, bluefish, gnome-calculator, libreoffice, rpmdrake, pavucontrol (pulseaudio), and sol (aisleriot). However tooltips in the Maté window manager (marco, for example) can display to the right of a window, but do not display off screen if the same window is moved over to the right of the screen. Also not affected are cherrytree, chromium, dia, diffpdf, diffuse, easyrpmbuilder, ekiga, gimp, gpicview, grip, hexchat, mate-control-center, meld, sudokuki, thunderbird and vlc. (Many other applications not tested.)
Summary: The tooltip for the top panel on Maté displays to the right of its' applet, off the screem for right-most applets. => The tooltip for the top panel on Maté displays to the right of its' applet, off the screen for right-most applets.

This problem seems to have started with the last update of mate-panel.
Reassigning to all packagers collectively as the original maintainer is not available anymore (thanks for all your work Atilla!).

Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].
