Public bug reported: Using gnome-shell 46 on noble, no window seems to be rendering the close, maximize and minimize buttons. Trying to click in the top right corner to look for buttons that are transparent yielded no result. The buttons seem to not be present at all.
I have tried to reinstall gnome-shell-common since a forum post indicates that it contains the assets required to draw those buttons, but it was all in vain. As a workaround I am riht clicking on the window title/headerbars to reveal the context menu with which I can close the window successfully. This seems to be related to the issue where gdm3 is not drawing the login widgets at all (switched to sddm to workaround).
