1. Open Systemsettings on a Wayland session
2. Hover the mouse on an element at the left (eg : Fonts, Colors, Icons...)
3. Enter

Can confirm.
For some reason the tooltip isn't doesn't get a transient parent properly. The problem lies in it being a sub surface and it doesn't have focus initially, so KWin refuses to accept the transient parent it tells it, or something along the lines of that.
