gnome-shell crash when typing into file browser dialog in Discord app [JS object wrapper for GObject 0x55863e548a60 (GSettings) is being released while toggle references are still pending.]

This is a specific instance of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1736664

I cannot see the journal that will be attached to the bug in advance, so I can't copy the error message to the summary.

While using the Discord app I clicked the (+) button in order to select a file to upload into a chat, which led to the normal file browser dialog. I then typed either "/hom" or "~/.l" or ".loc" and before the interface could update to show that I had typed anything it froze, then a few seconds later almost all programs had closed and gnome-shell was restarting after having crashed.

I am running Ubuntu 19.10, gnome-shell 3.34.1+git20191024-1ubuntu1~19.10.1
