Description

Tooltips of wpfs apps always appear on top and also inside of windows of other applications.
That doesn't feel right.

This behaviour can be confusing users, because sometimes (not always) they see tooltips, when they for example write an email in Outlook and concurrently a wpf app is open in the background:

How can this behaviour be suppressed?
