Great, I'm reassigning the bug to libmutter-11-0 and will close it when
that request has been processed. I think we can be fairly confident that
this is the issue that was fixed in upstream !2848.

This was a regression in 43.3 if I understand correctly, and 43.3-1
and 43.3-2 never made it to testing, so only unstable users will have
seen this happen.

Yes, if you upgrade libmutter-11-0 then the upgrade will not really take
effect until you restart gnome-shell (log out and back in), making the
package versions in your bug report misleading: you already had the fixed
version installed when you reported the bug, but you weren't yet using it.
