Upon building today’s `git main@1229d635`… the **tooltip issue with the GTK4 NGL renderer is resolved**.

I suspect also the popover/dialog distortion issues noted over the course of this thread may too be resolved/improved, but as noted several times previously, they became very rare and difficult to reproduce with recent GTK/Adwaita releases.

I’ll wait to mark this SOLVED until `egl-wayland2` is officially tagged & packaged for my distro, and the temporary-fix **[env var](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/tooltip-distortion-on-kde-plasma/312358/19)** is no longer required. Hopefully in the 580 driver.

I will, however, update the **[tracking thread](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/summary-of-existing-issues-with-the-nvidia-proprietary-driver/325947/9)** now. Sweet!

Thanks again to @kbrenneman for picking this up. 👍
