Hi Daniel, Thanks so much for your email and for your efforts looking into this for me! The idea of upgrading to 20.04 is well-taken but involves substantial effort to bring up my servers. Therefore, I will first try upgrading my Nvidia to say libnvidia-cfg1-440 and libnvidia-common-440 etc.... because these are the latest Nvidia packages as listed in my Synaptic app on Ubuntu 18.04? Does that make sense? I will back up my OS prior as I alway maintain a nightly backup of my OS via ZFS snapshots. Thanks again and best, Phil

Action to see bug: 1. double left mouse click on launcher icon on left toolbar (usually happens with Chromium Browser icon) 2. Desired result: Drop down menu appears with options to open Chromium browser 3. Actual result when bug appears: Drop down menu appears then whole desktop freezes. No further mouseclicks on display work. Dropdown menu remains frozen on display. 4. Current workaround: When bug appears, the desktop can be unfrozen via cntl-alt-del keys but the drop-down menu remains frozen in place. Next, the frozen drop-down menu can now be closed by clicking on the "Activities" menu on the upper-left corner of the desktop and then clicking on the icon with the frozen drop-down menu. These actions close the frozen drop-down menu and restore normal operation of the Gnome III for a while until the bug pops up again. This bug has become especially common now rendering the desktop almost unusable and I'm thinking of replacing Gnome III due to this.
