I think this is not reproducible as it happens as a graphical lockup, but seems the machine goes into Suspend and I could wake the machine up by pressing the Power button. Just wonder how this could be happened.

For me is reproducibile, if I close the lid of the pc and reopen it before it suspends than reclose it and reopen it to wake the pc this error comes out.

Question from upstream bug tracker: Likely fixed with newer versions of GTK+. Can you still reproduce with GTK+
3.1.18?

I think this bug probably related with sleeping. I closed my laptop, it slept. When I opened it, the error occurred and something became strange, e.g., all icons in file browser (nautilus) were lost, they looked just all same.

excuse me if this is not useful.

This exact bug happens quite randomly when unsuspending
