You forgot to test the following combinations:

  --with-x-toolkit=gtk3, x-gtk-use-native-input set to nil
  --with-x-toolkit=gtk3, x-gtk-use-native-input set to t
  --with-pgtk, GDK_BACKEND=x11

Could you please try all three setups and see which of those the
problem exists in?

Thanks in advance.
