I find this interesting. I can see a very light yellow pop-u on your
supplied screen-shot. I used GIMP to confirm those HTML color values:

The white background = ffffff
The popup = ffffe1


I just checked my popup on Lazarus Ver 1.3, and it is definitely white on
white, although I had once manually changed some settings in the
Linux gtkrc setting file pointed to by ~/.gtkrc-2.0:

filename:
 /usr/share/themes/Aurora/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

I once had light gray text on white, so I changed the following line of
that file to back tooltip fg on white tooltip bg as follows:

gtk_color_scheme =
"fg_color:#000000\nbg_color:#C7C7C7\nbase_color:#ffffff\ntext_color:#000000\nselected_bg_color:#247EB3\nselected_fg_color:#ffffff\ntooltip_bg_color:#FFFFFF\ntooltip_fg_color:#000000"
