Hmm, I was unable to duplicate this issue with Debian 12 (which uses
GNOME 43), but I was able to duplicate it with Debian Testing.

I believe the Debian Testing issue is fixed with mutter 45.1, but we
are stuck waiting for ftpmaster review before we can get that to
Debian Testing.

It's a bit surprising that the upstream issue I found was only
reported after GNOME 45 and not GNOME 44 (or GNOME 43).
