Bug Description

Impact
------
We need to update gtk4 before updating mutter to 42.1. Otherwise, in gtk3 apps like gnome-text-editor, 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 gtk3 bug is LP: #1972721

Test Case
---------
Install the updated gtk4 packages.
Use gnome-text-editor 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 GTK4 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-4-6

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.

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!

After installing the gtk4 4.6.3+ds1-0ubuntu1 proposed updates, I confirm that scrolling down in long documents in gnome-text-editor works with both the jammy mutter 42.0-3ubuntu2 and the jammy-proposed version 42.1-0ubuntu1.
