Oops, misunderstood your response the first time.

Yes, I agree the 3.5 update will have the same fix. I suggested 3.4.6-3 so
that we can get the fix sooner since 3.5 seems to be stuck (due to a
problem with cinnamon, according to the CI report).

(I am still seeing the issue with 3.4.6-2, which is what we would expect).
