I confirm this issue, this issue is due to mutter which was fixed on:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3908?diff_id=1187609&start_sha=c3365ccbb2d1533e45622a75d065bdbb4671d507
Its milestone is part of Gnome 46. When will this be in the updates?
This is a critical stability issue.
** Also affects: mutter (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
Status: Expired => Confirmed
** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
** Description changed:
In Ubuntu 24.04.1 Noble, with gnome-shell 46.0-0ubuntu (using Xorg),
when I hit Alt-F2 r to restart Gnome Shell (useful when developing Gnome
extensions) the Gnome Desktop freezes: I obtain a gray screen with the
message "Oh no ! Something has done wrong, please contact your system
administrator".
This is fully reproducible on my three computers with the same 24.04.1
Ubuntu version.
This worked in Ubuntu 22.04.x.
