Bug Description
My desktop froze two times in the last couple of days.
I have no clue which action led to this.
All windows are frozen then, I still can move the mouse and I finally need to hit the power button for a hard reset.
/var/crash does not show anything from this week:
```
❯ ls -la /var/crash/
total 1020
drwxrwsrwt 2 root whoopsie 4096 Mai 11 07:36 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Jan 21 17:32 ..
-rw-r----- 1 systemd-resolve whoopsie 1030995 Mai 4 18:20 _usr_lib_
-rw-r--r-- 1 root whoopsie 0 Mai 4 19:17 _usr_lib_
-rw------- 1 whoopsie whoopsie 37 Mai 4 19:17 _usr_lib_
```
The logfile shows the following suspiscous line:
Mai 12 06:57:12 XPS-13-9310 gnome-shell[12865]: JS ERROR: too much recursion
I am running Ubuntu 20.04 on a Dell XPS - but I'd guess this information is included in some data.
Thanks for having a look,

Yes the recursion error looks like the issue. It's coming from:
/<email address hidden>
so please open the Extensions app (from package gnome-shell- extension- prefs) and disable 'Ubuntu AppIndicators'.
