Details

gtk4-client freezes when editor mode's "property editor" is opened.

Seems that it's a loop where setting text on the widget causes it to emit "changed" signal again causing setting the value to the widget. The code is supposed to catch when the value has not actually changed, and that works on older clients.

and that works on older clients.

Even though the other clients somehow get away with it (at least usually), the bug is hiding in all of them. That's why the fix is targeted also to S3_0 where gtk4-client isn't even present.
