** Description changed:

  Impact
  ======
  It is very difficult to use the address bar in Epiphany on GNOME on Wayland 
because after a few characters, the address bar field stops redrawing. (This 
apparently was triggered by mutter 3.26?)
  
  Test Case
  =========
  sudo apt install epiphany-browser
  Open the Web app
  Type a URL into the address bar. Type a loooong URL.
  You should see all the characters you type into the address bar.
  
  Regression Potential
  ===================
- This is a minimal patch cherry-picked from GTK 3.22 git master (will be part 
of future GTK+ 3.22.25). I also pushed this patch to Debian unstable.
+ To fix this issue, the upstream mutter gnome-3-26 branch reverted an 
optimization commit applied earlier in 3.26 development. We also needed to 
revert a test change to match.
+ 
+ I have applied these 2 commits to mutter in Debian unstable also.
+ 
+ Other Info
+ ==========
+ The first SRU gtk+3.0 3.22.24-0ubuntu2 caused a regression seen in totem and 
so was reverted in both gtk upstream and in the next SRU 3.22.24-0ubuntu3.
+ 
+ Instead, this is being fixed in mutter.
  
  Original Bug Report
  ===================
  First two characters typed in urlbar show immediately, other characters take 
up to 30 seconds to appear, or url will appear in full once enter key is 
pressed.
