It is, but it seems the etiquette has changed there... I don't know, it seems the way people do things now. Just trying to be hip and modern 😄

I followed up on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/1922464
to figure why seb128 thinks that the patch (as present in gtk3 upstream)
is not appropriate to be uploaded to focal. I'm also happy to take care
of the update process in Ubutu if somebody is available for testting.

Great! Good idea, I've joined the thread there. That's the best fix.

However I don't understand why Nicolas here says that they experience
the problem on ubuntu 21.10? That version should have been long fixed.

The snap is built on focal so it pulls all of its dependencies from there even when running on more current systems. It also pulls back the focal ones on systems with older deps.

I'm a strong believer in using the focal versions of the packages largely because they receive security updates and notices. Where folks who do things like build their own deps don't get the benefit of those teams work.
