(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

You didn't include the debugging output from `M-x report-emacs-bug', so
it's hard to say what could be causing this.  If this is with a build
that uses the gtk toolkit, then this is a known limitation (and is fixed
by using some other toolkit).

Is that the case?  If not, do you still see this in recent Emacs
versions?  Emacs 25.2 is quite old.
