That is the correct level, we use NSPopUpMenuWindowLevel = 101 for tool tips.

The value -1 for other win means above all windows, not just any specific ones 
even above the key and main window.
This should work, but it isn’t the best we could do. We could provide the 
window of the view the tool tip belongs to as reference. That way we would get 
similar results as your change on the lowest level achieved. 
For this we need to change line 695 in GSToolTip.m to look somewhat like this:

  [window  orderWindow: NSWindowAbove relativeTo: [[view window] windowNumber]];

I am surprised that this worked as it results in the tool tip being placed 
below the key window.
