This seems a lot more serious than the rest, and I get this too (in pure
GNOME). I suspect it might be applying the white text that is meant to
be used for the selection, but failing to apply the blue background,
resulting in illegibility.

That sounds as though some padding is wrong (possibly negative).

I'm fairly sure this one *is* deliberate, it indicates that there's more
to see in this direction (by scrolling).

I think this may deserve a separate bug; the interactions between Shell
and Gtk are probably not going to be the same as between Cinnamon's window
manager and Gtk, and the GNOME team are probably rather self-selecting as
"not Cinnamon users" so we won't tend to spot things like this unless
they're pointed out.
