I guess, this information is pretty obvious, but I can tell you that
this is a GTK specific issue. Personally, I use Emacs with
athena-toolkit (libxaw) instead of GTK. I did not encounter this problem
with it.

If you're interested, this is the package definition:

    (define-public own-emacs
        (package
            (inherit emacs)
            (name "emacs")
            (synopsis "The extensible, customizable, self-documenting text editor
    with athena toolkit" )
            (build-system gnu-build-system)
            (inputs `(
                ("inotify-tools" ,inotify-tools)
                ("libxaw" ,libxaw)
                ,@(alist-delete "gtk+" (package-inputs emacs))))
            (arguments `(
                #:configure-flags '("--with-x-toolkit=athena")
    ,@(package-arguments emacs)))))
