Might be fixed with #441 can someone test?

I currently don't have the time to dig deep enough into the sway rendering code to properly fix this and I'm also not sure whether the way the pull request "solves" the issue is the best way of dealing with it.

This is not fixed with gtk-layer-shell - Tooltips are still displayed underneath unless layer is explicitly set to top.

@ainola How do you set it to top?

[eternal-sorrow]

@piu130 "layer": "top",

I had the waybar layer set to bottom, so bemenu would be shown on top of waybar (as recommended in #474), but since the last release also tray icon context menus disappeared behind windows.
Just wanted to say that this is not limited to tooltips. Of course setting the layer to top solves this issue.

Exactly as dd23 said, I would have no problem using the workaround but I need to be able to use bmenu as well and I cannot do that if it gets hidden behind waybar.

One possible workaround is to use bemenu --no-overlap and configure waybar with

"layer": "top"

[David96]

This is now fixed in sway (https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/4781), therefore can be closed I think. Also the default layer should probably be bottom now, so things like bemenu can display over waybar.

Thanks @David96 🎉
