MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge gtk3-no_deadkeys_underline [2]
into gtk3-classic [3]:

I propose this package merge, as 'gtk3-classic' is a community-
maintained, GitHub CI-tested modded fork of gtk3, and it includes the
no_deadkeys_underline patch, as well as others which are intended to
undo upstream's anti-traditional-desktop changes. [a]

It gets promptly updated whenever there's a new upstream change, like
yesterday's version bump from 3.24.38 to 3.24.39.

The latter is also built without the unnecessary 'tracker3'
dependency.

I think users would definitely benefit from having a streamlined
experience instead of being offered the choice of piecemeal gtk3 forks
on AUR.

gtk3-classic's upstream also has an issue tracker where users can
submit suggestions, feature requests and bugs. PR's are also welcome.

I've been using gtk3-classic for more than a year now and it is a
smooth experience for me on KDE Plasma desktop.

Note: there's also a variant of gtk3-classic tailored for the Xfce
desktop:
