Mobian appears to be a Debian derivative, containing modifications
relative to Debian. Is this bug reproducible on a Debian system?

The patch appears to be reverting a change that was made to fix a
different bug, so I'm not comfortable with reverting it without a better
idea of what is going on and what (if anything) the revert is likely
to break.

I see you're already in contact with upstream. Please work with them
to provide the information they need about what is happening on your
Pinephone, which appears to be an embedded device, and therefore seems
likely to have a graphics stack that does not match what is typically
used on Debian and GNOME systems.
