Public bug reported:
"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.
