Attempting to open a folder when Dolphin is near the bottom of the screen is
nearly impossible

SUMMARY
Hovering over a file in Dolphin will cause a detailed information panel to pop
up about the file in question. (As long as "show item on hover" is checked in
the information panel section of Dolphin's settings). However, when the window
is near the bottom of the screen, the pop up panel will cover the file itself.
This makes it so that it is difficult to click on the file, as the pop up panel
will often appear before the user is able to click on the file. It may make
sense to have a separate pop up behavior when the Dolphin window is near the
bottom so that the pop up panel appears to the side of the cursor so that it
does not fully cover the file


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Ensure that the detailed information pop up appears when the cursor hovers
over a file in Dolphin
2. Move the Dolphin near the bottom of the screen
3. Hover over a file so that the pop up appears
4. Attempt to click the file

OBSERVED RESULT
It is impossible to open the file by clicking because the file is being covered
by the pop up panel

EXPECTED RESULT
The file should still be able to be opened. The panel should probably appear
somewhere else
