I don't see them saying we won't fix this, nor that Emacs is not important, 2315 is still open. What I also see myself is that for about last ~15 years, it is only Emacs users that seems to be affected by this bugs. I have read, just of my own curiosity through entire of those bug threads: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/221 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/2315 What I see them say, more or less is help us to help you. I won't say it is bug in Emacs nor will I say it is bug in Gtk, I'll just say leave some reservation that Emacs could maybe could do something else. You seem to be very knowledgable about Gtk and Eli says you know what you are doing, have you try to work with them to solve the problem? But maybe for Emacs devs this is not important either, in which case we are just arguing about smoke :).
