I have added the respective bug reports in Debian and Fedora/RHEL. Also, there is an upstream bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637095
FYI: The linked Fedora/RHEL bug report contains in-depth analysis by Michael Karcher why this issue arises. He came to the conclusion that the bug cannot be easily fixed as this is a fundamental design issue.
