@Michael
Thanks for teaching me about meta bug 102495.

And, yes: the issue seems very similar to 123779, with the difference that I
have noticed it while typing in the upper "formula bar" (which appears to be
called "input line", actually), i.e. in the space for input right below the
toolbars. The screenshots made by Roman Kuznetsov (who has been much more
efficient than me in this) totally confirm the issue.

I think that the two bugs may be merged (possibly changing the title to
something like "Regression due to KDE5 VCL: calc shows tooltips covering the
text that is being typed", to indicate that it is not just an issue with cells,
nor with the formula bar, but both).

I would like to add that the KDE5 VCL often causes the tooltip to be displayed
breaking the text in multiple lines, which exacerbates the issue.

Finally, it would be great if the KDE5 VCL could provide "shaped" tooltips as
in gtk3, where the little arrow points at the place the tooltip refers to. If
this is impossible due to how qt5 handles tooltips, I wonder whether LibO could
file an enhancement request to qt, probably having much better chances of being
heard than any individual user.
