Version 3.22 is not going to be backported. That would require backporting half of GNOME and at that point, you may as well just run testing. It might be possible to backport the patches that fix that specific issue as a stable update. The patches in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/730252 are pretty simple. But it depends on whether Debian's GNOME maintainers and the stable release managers consider the issue important enough for a stable update and I have doubts about whether it meets the 'truly critical functionality problem' guideline. There is a simple workaround; just view the document in continuous mode instead of non-continuous mode.
