Re: Emacs's set-frame-size can not work well with gnome-shell?

You mean like in the attached?  It hardly affects performance here.

I meanwhile did a full GNOME installation here, a somewhat nightmarish
experience trying to get a system menu and task bar, recovering all the
stolen key bindings, disabling the trackers ...  It strongly reminds me
of Windows 10 where I never managed to fix all relevant issues.

Anyway, AFAICT the hide during resizing approach seems to be the only
halfway working alternative at the moment.  It's also the only one that
can show a scroll bar on a child frame (not necessarily right away but
after one resize operation at least).  Which hints at some outer-window
vs edit-window snafu but so far I have no idea where to look.
