Indeed, It's a regression compared to GTK 2.0 and a really annoying bug 
for low-vision people using screen magnification software like Compiz.

I'm visual-impaired and user of a screen magnifier to write this message.

A concrete example of the bug is the password entry for the WiFi on 
Network Manager, the screen magnifier doesn't follow the text and 
follows the top of the screen so the only way to see the password is to 
type it on a text editor and copy-paste it on network manager field.
With the Samuel's patch I no longer have to do that :), it's really 
appreciable.

Best regards,
Alex.
