Using the supplied instructions I can't reproduce the bug.

Any more hints?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Ah, yes I can reproduce it now. You have to open the text file by clicking on it, and not after opening gedit.

Reported upstream:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1075

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

What also happens is if you move a window the busy cursor halts. But this is just temporary, opening a new window causes it to start up again. So only way to really stop is too log out.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

The bug seems to have been fixed upstream in mutter:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/501

but there are some other upstream bug links too. Probably not required.
