Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Thanks for the bug report. While the problem is happening please run:

  gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.shell > settings.txt
  journalctl -b0 > journal.txt

and attach the resulting text files here.

thanks for your replying. that is surely not a security issue. switching the window back and forth by clicking firefox window can solve this problem . I think that is firefox problem.
some other software also has a little bugs. such as : intellgence pinyin, file Explore, document viewer (default pdf reader in OS). they are not deadly, just need to be cafurelly, use them with regular way.

one serious bug is still in ubuntu 22.04 —— "programming is not responding" 。 clicking "Force Quit " or "wait" buttons cannot solve the problem. kill process through "system monitor" is also not okay. the last thing I can do is rebootint the OS.
