My system is Ubuntu 18.04.3 Gnome 3.28.2, but the newest Ubuntu also behaves similarly. This is an old issue, it was present in 18.04, 18.10, 19.04 and now in 19.10. I use three computers, and all of them suffer with this problem. Anyone can check this with the "gnome- shell memory monitor" gnome-shell extension.
