Bug Description
What should happen:
With any number of applications running or workspaces enabled, gnome-shell should restart gracefully by using 'Alt F2 > r and enter'.
What does happen:
With just one workspace enabled, several applications can be started and gnome-shell can be restarted with 'Alt F2 > r and enter' without issue.
With multiple workspaces enabled, several applications can be started and gnome-shell can be restarted with 'Alt F2 > r and enter' provided all applications are started on the first workspace.
With multiple workspaces enabled, if several applications are started on different workspaces then gnome-shell will crash if restarted with 'Alt F2 > r and enter'. My last application was started on workspace 4.

Firstly, please remove/disable all gnome-shell extensions as extensions are a common cause of bugs and crashes. You have a lot of them:
b'org.gnome.shell' b'enabled- extensions' b"['<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', 'applications- overview- tooltip@ RaphaelRochet' , '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', 'suspend- button@ laserb' , '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>']"
If the problem persists without extensions then...
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps:
1. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run:
ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash
Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug.
2. If step 1 failed then look at https:/ /errors. ubuntu. com/user/ ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/ whoopsie/ whoopsie- id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us.
3. If step 2 also failed then apply the workaround from bug 994921, reboot, reproduce the crash, and retry step 1.
Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself.
