python tkinter tooltip on modal window
I found a solution.
Apparently, someone had the same problem, although with a different class for tooltips.
I refer to this question and answer.
The solution is to add the line tw.wm_attributes("-topmost", 1) somewhere in the showtip method of the TooltipBase class.
I did it as a last line, but I'm not sure it doesn't work some other place; I know it doesn't if immediately after tw.wm_overrideredirect(1).
