Yeah, I know what commit brings this issue because I did this commit.
This isn't my question.

The constraint trigger that appears in his pgadmin's window seems to be
the system trigger of a foreign key. This trigger shouldn't appear as it
is a system trigger. I created a trigger with a DELETE cascade, but I
don't see the system trigger, even with the "Show system objects"
checkbox checked. So, what I'm asking for is a test case showing the
issue.
