It sounds like this is a consequence of some kind of leak in the gnome- shell process. But that does not mean ubuntu-dock is the cause of the leak, it could be anything in gnome-shell.
Can you please keep an eye on the "Vm" values in /proc/PID/status for gnome-shell, as well as the number of entries in /proc/PID/fd/ Tell us if any grow consistently over time and by how much, doing what... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846477 Title: Dragging icons in launcher is slow until shell restarted Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Today I noticed that dragging icons up and down the launcher is painfully slow, to the point where it feels like the desktop has locked up. The gnome-shell process is pegged at 100% while this is happening. Restarting gnome shell (alt+f2, r) makes it faster to refresh the move of the icon but still super slow at drawing the line where you drop it. However, it's super fast on clean boot of a separate machine - x220 (7 years old i7) and another nvidia 960 gpu equipped i7 laptop.
