Technically it was a whole point release. The trigger could be any change that went into mutter 3.28.4 as well as any Ubuntu patch. As mentioned in comment #31, my suspicion is this specific change: https:/

If the issue turns out to be commit e9e4b2b72 above then no. Because too many people benefit vs the possible number of people affected by this bug. But we also aren't completely sure that's the relevant mutter commit.
If only I could reproduce this bug I could probably write a workaround (or fix) for it in mutter.
