[#18168] - Uncaught Error: cannot call methods on tooltip prior to initialization; attempted to call method 'destroy'

- # 18168
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Login to Administration panel
- Browse to articles editor
- Click on any article to edit it or click New button
- Watch developer tools, for example, by pressing F12. I see the error: Uncaught Error: cannot call methods on tooltip prior to initialization; attempted to call method 'destroy'
Expected result
Actual result
I think this JavaScript error is affecting modal dialog displays caused by buttons placed at the bottom of the editor area. When I press any button that should open a modal dialog, a new page with modal dialog content is opened. This kind of behaviour is typical when a JavaScript error occurs before.
System information (as much as possible)

Additional comments
I thought a plugin should be affecting this, so I disabled all editors-xtd plugins but the error is still happening.

@tonypartridge This but was fixed in 3.7.x, may by @jaimestuardo have a js override.

No override here. What js is supposed to be the cause of the issue?

Working fine here, make sure to check for system plugins and content plugins.
