Yes, correct.

Honestly, I am not the expert in which part the issue needs to be resolved. The
issue appears not only on Linux systems (where - I guess - it is Mir/Wayland ?)
but on other OS systems with Wine e.g. Mac, too.

At a first glance for me it looked as this issue belogs to this report but
please advice if I should open a new bug or just leave it here.
