This might be related. I have this weird issue where clicking on certain
places in some applications minimizes them. Logging out and back in does
not fix it. I actually just crashed Gnome(?) when I misclicked on the
Steam window and clicked some empty space below my username in the top
right instead of clicking the username to open the little menu. The
Steam window resized and then highlighted the gaps between itself and
the edges of my screen in blue as if I were holding it against an active
screen edge (which I have had disabled but doesn't turn off). The OS
stopped responding to input after that and a few seconds later I got the
frowny face error saying something went wrong and my only option was to
log out.

I'm going to see if this has its own bug report somewhere in a few
minutes. I've reproduced it several times now without a crash; clicking
on empty space in the top or bottom of the window will minimize it. The
reason this ties into this particular bug is because if the empty space
you clicked on is outside of the bounds of the window's default size and
location, the application minimizes but also thinks you're holding it
against the edge or corner of the screen and displays the corresponding
resize overlay on whichever corner or edge is closest to your click. I
think what happened is I when I clicked through Steam and the false
active screen edge triggered, I ended up clicking on the window behind
it which caused the same thing to happen to that one too, and then
Ubuntu crashed. I'll try reproducing it again and report back with the
result.
