It is not so serious because there are workarounds.
The problem happens only in some Linux distro / desktop combinations
and even there not always. Users were able to configure their systems
to get rid of the problem.
For example I have used various distros with XFCE and KDE but never
seen the problem.
One option is to dive into LCL-GTK2 code and fix the problem. That
should be done by somebody who actually experiences it.

I can recommend Manjaro Linux + KDE. It always has the latest released
versions of everything and KDE5 has matured beautifully.
I always screwed up my Ubuntu derivatives when I tried to install new
stuff without using their package repos.
Ubuntu was the state or art > 10 years ago but not any more. Things
have advanced since then.
