What Happened?

With "Reduce Motion" enabled, opening the application launcher and scrolling once causes the tooltip of any hovered app icon to flicker rapidly. It keeps flashing until I move the cursor away. I'm attaching a short video showing the behavior.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enable Reduce Motion in system settings.
  2. Open the Wingpanel application launcher.
  3. Scroll once to the right, then leave the cursor hovering over any app icon.
  4. Watch the tooltip.

Expected Behavior

The tooltip should appear normally and stay stable without flickering.
