It would appear that something has changed in the Android emulator, and it's less likely to be the cause of the crash.
I'd expected to simply run gnome with animations turned on, run the emulator, get a crash when switching desktops. While this now seems more stable, it does occasionally crash. I can confirm that using the above update resolves the problem. I've been using it for a couple of days without any issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1812527 Title: [bionic][regression] gnome-shell crashes with SIGSEGV in meta_window_actor_is_destroyed(self=NULL) called from _switchWorkspaceDone() [windowManager.js:1787] Status in GNOME Shell: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gnome-shell source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in gnome-shell source package in Cosmic: Invalid Status in gnome-shell source package in Eoan: Invalid Bug description: https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/cb400a6f83ed57af8bb117cf84d5ed6d7e2ffcee https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/927 [ Impact ] Switching workspace with the Android Emulator running will blink the screen as if gnome restarted, if I switch workspace one more time, it will completely crash and I will need to log in again. [ Test case ] Open Android Emulator and switch workspace or Open Skype, start a test call and switch workspace GNOME-Shell should not crash [ Regression potential ] Very low, we remove windows from Javascript array when they're destroyed. A possible regression could be not switching to workspace when selecting a window that is in another one.
