*All* tooltips? We have lot of places where tooltips can be shown. 
One can't understand the context from your small screenshot. 
Anyway, I guess this SWT issue on that specific GTK or desktop.

If you are using specific GTK3 theme, please try to switch to Adwaita (default one).

Do you still see this issue? Is it better with Adwaita?

I believe this isn't actually a tooltip, but a widget that's been made to look like one with Control.setRegion().

At any rate, there have been many fixes in this area since 4.6. Please try with 4.8/GTK3.22 and reopen this ticket if the issue is still there.
