The issue does not occur on Ubuntu 20.04 with the latest gtk+3 and 
gtkmm3 from the git repo.

It looks as if the gtkmm__GtkTextView class has not been registered in 
the GType system before get_widget_derived() is called. That should have 
been done by Gtk::wrap_init() which is called from 
Gtk::Application::create().

You can test if I'm right. Add
    std::cout << "GType name: " << 
G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME(m_TextView->gobj()) << std::endl;
after the call to get_widget_derived(). When the overloaded function is 
not called, I suspect that the output will be
    GType name: GtkTextView
When you've uncommented TVDerived dummy;, and everything is okay, the 
output is probably
   GType name: gtkmm__GtkTextView

If I'm right, it looks like a Fedora specific issue. It can't be due to 
a recent update in gtkmm (I've tested with the very latest one), unless 
there is some Fedora specific update.
