Tooltips appearing from background windows

When using (most) adobe apps, I get tooltips that appear on my current window from background windows. An example of this:

I click the ‘output file’ path in media encoder. It opens an explorer window. The tooltip for hovering over the ‘output file' path then appears from the previous window on top of the current window (basically displaying the full path). I cannot interact with anything within the grey tooltip box, as it is from a previous window, and each time this renders that part of my screen useless until I close, and re-open the window to reove the hover tooltip. This happens only with Adobe apps, on After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Media Encoder. The tooltips are broken and often appear during ‘hang times’ or loading events between windows.

The only way to solve this is to just ‘hope’ it doesn’t happen when I reload it again, or try navigate ‘around’ the grey tooltip box until I go back to the inactive window.
