This bug happened when I clicked and held the left mouse button on the desktop and moved it to make a rectangular selection window. Next, I moved the window to highlight 4 desktop shortcuts on my desktop (Middle-earth Shadow of Mordor.desktop, steam.desktop, Trash, and the icelancet or Home folder). Next, while still holding the left mouse button down, I pressed and released the right mouse button. Now a window pops up with more options, however, the window is not removable using a normal method like clicking somewhere else on the desktop or even choosing an option in the window which does nothing. Also, it introduces more bugs like: 1. clicking the icelancet/Home shortcut on the desktop does not open the Home folder, or 2. while clicking the Home folder shortcut on the sidebar does open the Home folder, this window is not moveable by the usual method of pressing down the left mouse button on the title bar of the window and moving the mouse. As such, when this bug occurs, a hard reboot is necessary to restore the stability of the system. I have reproduced the bug after a reboot and doing the same procedure - the same thing happens. This is on the latest version of Ubuntu (Release 20.04) with all the latest upstream updates installed.

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:/
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.
