Hi Filippo,

I verified that both Emacs 27.1 and the current Emacs mainline (future
Emacs 28) operate properly. They can produce images similar to your
attached screenshot after following your instructions. I have no way to
conveniently try this on Emacs 26.3.

I verified this with "emacs -Q", which runs without any of my local
configuration. Did you try it that way?

If you can conveniently run a newer version of Emacs, you might try
that.

I suggest we close this bug, unless Lars things fixing it in Emacs 26 is
worth the effort.
