Something like this is supposed to work but there are some test failures:

There is probably some overlap with 218492.

In that case, can we re-land the fix for the bug 218492 first and check if it also fixes this bug or not?

I *think* this is happening (sorry my wording was a bit imprecise):
- 218492 bt is specific to Mac. GTK instead has the bt from 218491 for the test case in 218492.
- so the 218492 fix for Mac had a test case that fixes 218492 on Mac and thus equals it to GTK status, i.e. still hitting 218491.

Hope that clears things up. If I am right fixing 218491 first and then relanding the 218492 fix should fix both bugs.

Ah ok.
