[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Thanks for the insightful answers. The issue was indeed PGTK, the official
build of Emacs 28 works fine. I didn't realize that the version I used was
not official, sorry.
However, the same issue still exists in Emacs 29 on Wayland and X (tested
on GNOME on both X and Wayland, using emacs-git with PGTK from AUR, which
compiles from development master branch), where PGTK is officially
supported. Based on your responses, it seems that this is a known issue,
but I cannot find any corresponding bug report (I could have missed it
though, I'm a bit clumsy with GNU's bug report logs). Should this bug
report be moved to Emacs version 29? Or should I report the issue again for
Emacs 29?
