Well, after filling the report on GitLab, as suggested in comment #15, I receive the following statement from there:

You are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore by GNOME developers. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes by GNOME developers for the version that you use.
By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
Please feel free to reopen this bug report if the problem still occurs with a recent version of GNOME (3.32), or feel free to report this bug in the bug tracking system of your Linux distribution if your distribution still supports the version that you are using.

I may well be wrong (I'm a lawyer, not a developer) but I understand that this issue is an "Ubuntu bug" not a "GNOME bug", as it apparently just happens in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, which is supposed to be supported for 5 years until April 2023. Nevertheless, the solution was marked herea mere "wishlist".
I assume no one will spend time trying to fix it, despite de lifespan support of Ubuntu 18.04
LTS is supposed to last 4 years more. That's sad!
