Thank you for your bug report. It's a GTK4 issue, the gnome-text-editor deb has the same problem

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

It should be reported upstream to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues

Zenan, please open a new bug if you have a new (or unfixed) issue. Commenting on a closed bug isn't helpful since it's difficult for people to see comments on closed bugs.

Please use words instead of just posting a bunch of links.

Please don't post the same bunch of links in multiple different places simultaneously. It feels like spam when that happens.
