I can still confirm the bug, I am using gnome-shell version "3.14.4-1". Is it fixed or the root cause found? if there is any other workaround to overcome the issue plese let me know.
I couldn't find any specific pattern of this freezing issue. But, for me freezing happened in the following situations/scenarios, 1. When the notification/dialogue boxes are opened ex a) file properties dialgue b) (file) save location selection dialogue opened 2. While browsing (randomly & some 50+ tabs opened in iceweasel) 3. While opening nautilus/gedit etc as root user Almost all the freezing scenario the mouse pointer is moving but click function not works. On each freeze I do switch to tty1 and issuing "/etc/init.d/gdm3 restart". -- Regards, K. Karthikeyan, Engineer, C-DAC Chennai.
