Tooltip problem in tables

Version: 7.1.3.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 47f78053abe362b9384784d31a6e56f8511eb1c1
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded

1. Open the attached file and click inside the table.
2. Hover the mouse cursor across the lower half of the Table toolbar (bottom of screen) with the aim of causing the tooltips to appear over each icon in succession.

EXPECTED RESULT: The tooltips appear.
ACTUAL RESULT: No tooltips. In order to get tooltips to appear over an icon you need to hover the cursor RIGHT AT THE TOP of AN icon.

A few similar issues have been reported (e.g. Bug 121361).

Michael, he means icons on Table toolbar. Move a mouse cursor over the icons and you'll see tooltips

I can confirm the same issue exists in this build. Specifically, the tooltip ONLY appears when the arrow tip of the cursor is in the TOP HALF of the icon.

This is illustrated by the attached screenshots.
Comment 6 R. Green 2022-07-30 11:49:10 UTC
The same issue affects the toolbar for lists (and possibly other toolbars which appear at the bottom of the Writer window?).

I have tries mouseing over icons in other contexts, both in Writer and Draw, and in these cases the tooltip appears WHATEVER part of the icon you mouse over. So, IME, the original report still stands.
Comment 7 Buovjaga 2023-01-25 13:31:37 UTC
I don't reproduce this.

Bug 121361 talked about a GTK bug that was fixed years ago: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/1371

R. Green: which version of GTK do you have?
What is your gtk-cursor-theme-size value in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

Arch Linux 64-bit, X11
Version: 7.4.4.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 40(Build:2)
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI: en-US
7.4.4-1
Calc: threaded

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
Comment 8 R. Green 2023-01-25 16:40:57 UTC
The problem is now resolved. Tooltips are appearing as expected on all parts of the icons.

Just for the record:
