Thank you for your suggestions, I will look into it. If there's a
particular point that could be made clearer then I'll absolutely submit
a screenshot and try and clarify it.
As for ubuntu-bug, I did run it. It guided me to report a bug against an
Xorg package. Would you say that that would've been a constructive
identification of the affected package, despite running a Wayland
session? If so I'll heed your recommendation in the future; if not I
will have to continue to dismiss ubuntu-bug as unmaintained.
The page on bug reporting guidelines is also dismissed by default, since
it has never been able to properly guide me to the correct package. But
I'll try:
Attempt 1: Jump to section 6 ("non-crash bugs") → "use ubuntu-bug" →
Xorg — is that correct, despite using Wayland?
Attempt 2: Jump to section 7 ("no particular package") → Follow the link
to the "FindRightPackage" page → jump to section 1.6 "Graphical
environment" → "The Ubuntu graphical environment is provided by [...]
the X Window System (aka X.org)" — really? Despite using Wayland? But
okay → "In Ubuntu [...] the no-effects window manager is metacity" — is
that really correct? If so I'll change the package to "metacity".

Title:
Always on top windows obscure context menus and tooltips
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
New
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.
