Here's an Ubuntu release that was not end of life when this bug was
actually reported: Ubuntu 21.04

Thank you for clearly showing what a wasted effort it is to actually
report bugs here, regardless of whether the Ubuntu version is current or
not at the time of reporting. Why then should I repeat that pointless
task?

If anyone is interested in whether the bug actually exists in arbitrary
future versions they can — oh I dont know — try it out themselves? But
since the most interest anyone has ever shown in the issue is to mark it
as "won't fix", as you just did, then why bother? Further proof of the
lack of interest is that it takes about 5 seconds to actually confirm
this problem by trying it out, instead of asking me to perpetually
confirm the bug for every future version until someone actually shows an
interest. No thanks.

Title:
  Always on top windows obscure context menus and tooltips

Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  "Always on top" windows are meant to be on top of other non-transient
  windows (its peers), but they're also on top of other windows'
  transient GUI components like context menus and tooltips.

  It is not constructive to obscure menus and tooltips with always on
  top windows any more than it is helpful to obscure the actual mouse
  cursor with AOT windows. They are short lived. Users can't decide
  where to place them. They will disappear by themselves when the user
  is done with them. A hidden tooltip or context menu helps no one.
