Gnome-shell restart-refresh causes minimized applications to become unresponsive and unminimized

[BoQsc]

Let's say you have minimized one or more applications such as Firefox, Gnome Tweaks or even Nautilus File Manager. These applications will be become unminimized after gnome-shell restart and also become unresponsive, unless I press to minimize/maximize them, these applications stay permanently unresponsive.

No matter what is your method of restarting Gnome Shell:

Either combination of ALT+F2+R

Or a command line command:

busctl --user call org.gnome.Shell /org/gnome/Shell org.gnome.Shell Eval s 'Meta.restart("Restarting…")'

In this attachment it can be seen that Minimized Nautilus File Manager is unminimized and unresponsive after Gnome Shell refresh/reload.

Also Nautlilus become responsive when I click to open Nautilus File Manager.

It seems that bug watcher thinks that bus is released when the issue was marked as duplicate.
