I can confirm this on Arch Linux, not only emoji tooltip, but also time tooltip of the message can show over other windows. This even happens when I put telegram-desktop in on workspace and change to another workspace, it still shows tooltip over other applications.

Plus, if you put cursor on time and switch to another workspace, you cannot reproduce this bug. You can only reproduce this bug when your mouse is not in telegram window and then move to the time position.

It's really annoying and hard to reproduce, and always shows on my code editor or browser to cover my codes.

Before it appeared only if window wasn't minimized, but now it also happens even if window is minimized.
And it works on every element that gives tooltip like timestamps. Should probably be more if Telegram had more tooltips.
Nevertheless as I mentioned it also hovers the emoji, but not only, titlebar buttons are also effected. I'm e.g. having hovered close button very often. I think it's a more global problem with the hovering and tooltip is an addition.

The same also happened when I was watching a video in Telegram.
Edit: Watching videos or viewing images in full screen mode of Telegram.
Full screen mode seems to be like a different window in that matter. 🤔

This is a question for you

Didn't notice lately, but again, I was busy in last few weeks and didn't have much chats on Telegram. Will have to test it, but if no one is is sending me messages then it's not possible.
Besides question is that if anyone even tried to fix it?

This issue sounds like a low-level issue from Qt or system window manager, I don't think that this could be fixed by app developers

However I never saw this problem on other programs...strange thing

It is clear that tdesktop can't show tooltips on the top of other programs if the system or Qt don't send these events, tdesktop doesn't ask Qt for them and, thus, the issue is on Qt or system side

We already got different system here, if we can check other Qt programs it will be better, but this bug hardly shows recently.

but this bug hardly shows recently

Qt updates from time to time, so this could be already fixed

That will be good, but I am using my desktop PC recently which is using Xorg, and when I got this bug I use laptop which is using Wayland, not sure if it's related.
