Additional notes. Histogram and levels displays are also affected. The effect is visible in all four default themes. Confirmed on Xfce4, with Adwaita, Adwaita Dark and Adwaita High-Contrast themes.

The bug does not manifest itself e.g. on an entirely white image.

I reported it to Cairo. Until they fix it, my suggestion for the maintainer is to downgrade to 1.17.6 version.
