Bug Description
[ Impact ]
gnome-shell crashes with SIGSEGV in st_theme_
https:/
https:/
[ Test Plan ]
1. Log into gnome-shell.
2. Ensure Ubuntu Dock is active.
3. Open the overview by tapping the Super key.
4. Lock the screen while the overview is open.
Expect: No crash, no automatic return to the login screen. The screen should lock and then be unlockable.
Note: It doesn't crash reliably every time due to the nature of memory corruption so additional verification under Valgrind may be advisable.
[ Where problems could occur ]
Since the fix affects theming and stylesheets, bugs could occur in shell theming.
