Bug Description

GNOME Shell crashed while moving windows between workspaces and monitors in the shell overview. If I remember correctly, the sequence was more or less like this:

0) I have two monitors. The primary monitor has two workspaces (plus the third one which is always empty). I have windows on these workspaces, as well as on the secondary monitor.

1) Go to overview

2) Move a window from the secondary monitor into a new workspace in the primary monitor. This workspace is to be created between two existing ones. However, when I let go of the window, it's place in a new workspace at the end of the list, while the new workspace I wanted to create is created, but it's left empty. I'm not sure, but maybe the window is placed in the last workspace which is always supposed to be empty.

3) Move the window from the last workspace into the new workspace, as I intended in the first place. GNOME Shell froze here. Also, it does not restart, which would be nice, forcing me to launch it from a TTY.
