Tip surfaces not being repositioned on client request

To see QtUbuntu asking for the repositioning of the Tooltip, see the console output from the app:

ubuntumirclient: makeSurfaceSpec(window=0x1fb1330): Tip spec (type=0xd, position=(238, 178)px, size=(57x20)px)
ubuntumirclient: makeSurfaceSpec(window=0x1fb1330): Tip spec (type=0xd, position=(150, 179)px, size=(57x20)px)

Which Mir version are you building qtubuntu against?

With lp:mir I need:

Running with the above patch, lp:mir and lp:miral I see no tooltips. The log shows a window being created placed and destroyed:

Yep, I'm running with Mir 0.24, not trunk. I'll look into why it's not working with trunk. Thanks for the patches

Also tried yakkety+overlay+the 0.3.0 ppa (2068)

I don't see any tips there either.

Doh!

I changed export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=..../path/to/src/ubuntumirclient/libqpa-ubuntumirclient.so

To QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=..../path/to/src/ubuntumirclient/

And the I can reproduce

Ah so sorry
