Tooltips in emacs are written always for main windows, not menu windows,
and compositor thinks that stacking order should be:

(above)
- menu
- tooltip for main window
- main window
(below)

It is too hard to improve it...


If you don't need tooltips, you can do:
(tooltip-mode -1)

I think that jitters may stop by it.
