Bug Description

Try installing a GNOME Shell extension [1] that's supposed to add a functioning suspend button to the user menu. What you'll find is the button is there but clicking on it seems to do nothing. Suspend still works for me though if I configure suspend to trigger when I press my physical power button on my desktop in the power settings. These suspend button extensions used to work just fine up until about 3 weeks ago.
