window input no longer possible when right clicking on desktop

[Philipp]

Sometimes when right clicking on desktop all windows no longer respond to input.

This is easily reproducable, just do many alternating right and left clicks directly on the desktop. The context menu will open and close and at some point the context menu will stay open and will no longer respond. Also all other windows will no longer react on input.

The top bar can be used though, it is possible to log out and log in again. This will reset the problem. Sometimes Alt + F2 -> R is also possible, which resets the problem.

I can reproduce this bug on many different machines and virtual machines. I was not able to reproduce it with gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons disabled (yet?).
