Thanks for the bug report.

Since we find so many bugs are caused by extensions, that's the first thing we need to look at. And you have a lot:

desktop-icons@csoriano', '<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>'

Please uninstall or disable all but the first three in the Extensions app and then log out and log in again. Does the problem still happen?

Please also kill gnome-system-monitor if you have that running. It's known to cause constant CPU usage. Measure CPU usage in a terminal window by running 'top' instead.
