That was 8 years ago, and I'm seeing the same thing as Lars here on
Emacs 26.1 and current master.  In other words, it looks like the
gedit screenshot and not the incorrect emacs one.

Can you still reproduce this on a modern version of Emacs?  If I don't
hear back from you in a couple of weeks, I'll just assume that this has
been fixed since this was reported and close this bug.

Best regards,
