Bug Description

Impact
------
We need to update gtk3 before updating mutter to 42.1. Otherwise, in gtk3 apps like gedit, it's not possible to scroll past the cursor position.

The mutter issue with more details is
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2261

We need to update mutter 42.1 since it includes a lot of bug fixes.

GNOME Shell 42.1 (with the corresponding changes to mutter, gtk3 and gtk4) will better comply with the Wayland specifications.

The gtk4 bug is LP: #1972722

Test Case
---------
Install the updated gtk3 packages.
Use gedit to open a long text file.
Scroll down past the page break.
The document should scroll normally.

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
Ideally, GNOME would have done a new GTK3 release for this issue. They will eventually, but it seems better for Ubuntu to be proactive and not further delay the mutter/gnome-shell 42.1 releases.

These commits are cherry-picks from the stable branch
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commits/gtk-3-24/

NOTE
----
To avoid a temporary mismatch related to phased updates, we want this update to be 100% phased before releasing mutter 42.1 to jammy-updates.

Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gtk+3.0 into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/3.24.33-1ubuntu2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

After installing the gtk3 3.24.33-1ubuntu2 proposed updates, I confirm that scrolling down in long documents in gedit works with both the jammy mutter 42.0-3ubuntu2 and the jammy-proposed version 42.1-0ubuntu1.
