GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 788071
Label: Emoji selection rendering broken
Last modified: 2017-12-18 03:13:28 UTC
Created attachment 360297 [details] Screencast showing the issue I'm not sure what exactly the problem is, but the attached screencast illustrates it. It looks like the selection gets drawn above the emojis unless you select the entire range. Also only happens when selecting from end to start, not from start to end.
textview, entry or selectable label ?
Selectable label
I haven't reproduced this yet
I have reproduced it now - curiously, it only happens with the cairo renderer, and it depends on the exact emoji being used.
This was fixed in cairo: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=903b0de539844c144c63ea57c30e84a23360c290
