Hello Christian, Thank you for taking the time to submit a report. I can personally confirm this behavior. While going through the GNOME Bugzilla I found a bug from a few years ago requesting this behavior. It wasn't clear whether it was implemented on purpose or by mistake. Nevertheless, I went ahead and forwarded this report upstream. Thank you again.
