Video driver generally
Judging by what I've seen, more than one video driver seems to be
afflicted by this problem. I see it on a PC that uses the X.Org Intel
driver as well as another PC that uses the binary-blob NVidia driver. Has
anyone noticed this problem with any other video drivers?
In my experience, the empty box is invariably left in the space that had
momentarily displayed a tooltip for one of the widgets in a Plasma panel.
I'll happily disable those tooltips if/when an option is provided to do
so. In the meantime, I frequently use the Show Desktop widget to refresh
my desktop and clean up the empty boxes.
