Could you please try it, to provide more information for other people
who are affected by this issue?

We are planning to ignore this bug to let GNOME Shell 51 migrate to
Testing. But we'll leave it as an RC bug to inform people and
hopefully get it fixed before Debian 14's release, especially if the
fix is as simple as modifying mutter or updating Debian's package
Nvidia drivers.

Thank you,
