Tooltips appear in the wrong positions on screen

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open Inkscape
  • Hover over various buttons

What happened?

  • Many tooltips appear on screen far away from the cursor and the button being described, or in some cases not at all
  • (The exact displacement distance/direction is not consistent and seems to have some unknown contributing factors, such as where in the window the button appears)
  • (Disabling HiDPI scaling in GNOME and restarting Inkscape did not help)
