Public bug reported:

At seemingly random times, gnome-shell uses 100% CPU when moving the
mouse cursor over the desktop and top panel. And the frame rate drops to
single figures, almost frozen.

I first noticed this in the aggregate menu but the only reliable
reproducer I've found is to drag the top panel (like bug 2062538) in a
Wayland session. After that, moving the mouse cursor over the desktop
wallpaper rapidly makes gnome-shell use 100% CPU when usually it's
closer to 10%.

The only reliable way I've found of making the bug NOT happen is to:

  gnome-extensions disable d...@rastersoft.com

but that might just be disabling the trigger (dragging the top panel
like bug 2062538). So it's possible gnome-shell/mutter is still really
to blame.
