Hi, I'm experiencing the bug showed in the two links put above on Ubuntu GNOME 17.04. I just want to ask if the Ubuntu team or Ubuntu GNOME team will apply the patch for this bug on Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 (and the whole Ubuntu stack, obviously).

The bug it's very difficult to reproduce, and I see that on Ubuntu GNOME is harder than on Manjaro GNOME. Nonetheless, I hope that you will consider to apply the patch when it's available, because the bug is really annoying.

If there is some way to collect the info of the bug when it happens, I want to know it, because apport-gtk doesn't appear when it happens.
