Bug Description
This is on Ubuntu Noble 24.04 with gnome-shell 46.0-0ubuntu5.1
The shell will crash if you do the following:
1. Open any two programs that can be maximized. To make reproduction as streamlined as possible, one of them should be Firefox or Steam.
2. Drag Firefox or Steam to the top of the screen to maximize it.
3. Click on empty space near the top of the maximized program until the program randomly restores itself. I do not mean the double click restore action. This itself is also a bug. It might take a few random clicks on Firefox but it will eventually happen.
4. Close the program that just restored its size.
5. Grab your second application and drag it to the top of the screen to maximize it.
6. Gnome shell will crash.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps:
1. Run these commands:
journalctl -b0 > journal.txt
journalctl -b-1 > prevjournal.txt
and attach the resulting text files here.
2. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run:
ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash
Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug.
3. If step 2 failed then look at https:/ /errors. ubuntu. com/user/ ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/ whoopsie/ whoopsie- id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us.
Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself.
