Public bug reported:
These problems have been seen several times over the past week and are
partly covered by other bug reports so please mark as a duplicate if
appropriate but I'm creating this report as I feel that all issues are
connected.
The Dash to Dock extension at times:
is seen on the lock screen
changes size when hovering over a program launcher icon
loses it transparency
The last time I saw an issue was immediately after running an update in
a terminal window. As soon as the process finished I noticed the Dash to
Dock had changed appearance. As I couldn't remember how I fixed it
previously I attempted to restart gnome-shell by Alt F2 > r and enter.
The transparency issue couldn't be rectified by changing the extension's
settings.
gnome-shell didn't restart gracefully as it should and gave the
appearance of a crash as only program windows were visible, the
remaining parts of the screen were black. I was eventually taken back to
the login screen so had to restart all of the previously running
programs.
This last issue of not being able to restart gnome-shell has been seen
on a number of occasions over the last few days, in fact twice today and
the last after a recent reboot with hardly any activity being carried
out on the PC except to start a few programs using the Dock and running
the update (which just found an update to Google Chrome).
