Description
I suppose this could technically be a stylistic choice, but it definitely seems like a bug. I use the Mint-Y-Dark-Orange theme on my system and I'm currently developing a gtk4 app. However, I noticed that the split pane layout's handle looks weird. In fact, it's being rendered offcenter. Here is a screenshot of the gtk4 Paned widget demo, with the gtk inspector being used to highlight the bounding box of the handle widget:
It looks the same on the Mint-X theme, and the other color variants, but it looks just fine in every other GTK theme I tried, including the default GTK style. Is this a bug or a stylistic choice?

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the GTK4 Paned widget demo with the Mint-Y-Dark-Orange and Mint-X themes, using the attached screenshot as the visual reference. Compare the theme styling with a default GTK theme and identify the relevant Paned handle rules; done means the handle is centered in its bounding box across the affected Mint theme variants.
