Research direction
Start in apps/desktop and reproduce the issue by showing diffs in the side panel, then hovering the disable line wrapping button and other top-right buttons. Trace the tooltip and close-button UI to determine where their layering is controlled; done means the tooltip appears above the application close button without affecting other controls.
