A user (possibly one of the same people who has written to this bug, I'm
not sure) raised this on #debian-gnome as maybe desirable to backport a
fix to Debian 12. The upstream issue has lots of duplicates, mostly in
nautilus but also in other apps, so it seems to be quite high-visibility.

A solution was merged upstream for 4.11.x and is likely to be backported
into 4.10.1, but it's very intrusive (about 1000 lines of code removed
and about the same amount added), so this is not something we can apply
to 4.8.x without being concerned about regressions. We have to balance
the benefit of backporting a change against the risk and severity of the
regressions it could cause.

If a GTK expert in the GNOME team wants to step in and take responsibility
for backporting changes and justifying them to the release team,
they're welcome to do so; but if that doesn't happen, I think this is
too high-risk now that we're in freeze.

Even if this is not fixed before the release of Debian 12, it might be
possible for a subsequent fix to make it into a Debian 12 point release.
Again, this would have to weigh up the benefit of backporting a change
against the risk and severity of regressions that it could cause,
and the changes would need to be justified to the stable release team
as proportionate (similar to #1031926, but with a much larger diff).
