System freezes on drag and move a file from desktop

Whenever I drag a file from a desktop and move it to the nautilus folder window, the system freezes and I can't do anything, just moving the mouse.

Thank you for your bug report. Is that under xorg or wayland session? Could you add the 'journalctl -b 0' log after triggering the issue? (or -b 1 if you need to restart)

[Robert Zelnik (rzelnik)]

The issue occurs under both xorg and wayland sessions.

Here is the journalctl output:

$ journalctl -b 1

I am sorry for previous journal log, here is the appropriate one.

I caused freeze by moving a desktop file in 9.27, in 9:28 I did hard restart.
