Public bug reported: What Happened: 1) Have gnome-shell-extensions-appindicator enabled 2) The only running app using the indicator was charmtimetracker ( https://github.com/KDAB/Charm ) 3) At some point usually within 1-2 days of office usage gnome shell crashes 4) Notice "JS ERROR: too much recursion" and then a stacktrace coming from appindicator extension in journalctl
What I expected to happen: For gnome-shell not to crash :-) Full logs: - Recursion warnings - https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/hfKMmH4Dpx/ - Stack trace - https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/2TC6WFVcsG/ Short Summary of Logs: === First sign of incoming crash === Jan 05 17:59:01 MACHINE-NAME gnome-shell[3315]: JS ERROR: too much recursion set active@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/popupMenu.js:199:29 _init@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/popupMenu.js:104:18 _init@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/popupMenu.js:273:15 createItem@/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com/dbusMenu.js:498:29 createItem@/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com/dbusMenu.js:520:60 === This continues many times, last instance is like this === Jan 05 17:59:01 MACHINE-NAME gnome-shell[3315]: JS ERROR: Exception in callback for signal: child-added: too much recursion PopupSubMenu@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/popupMenu.js:1017:9 _init@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/popupMenu.js:1201:21 createItem@/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com/dbusMenu.js:494:29 createItem@/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com/dbusMenu.js:520:60 === Then there is a stacktrace (shortened repeats) === Jan 05 17:59:01 MACHINE-NAME gnome-shell[3315]: Attempting to call back into JSAPI during the sweeping phase of GC. This is most likely caused by not destroying a Clutter actor or Gtk+ widget with ::destroy signals connected, but can also be caused by using the destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs. Because it would crash the application, it has been blocked and the JS callback not invoked. Jan 05 17:59:01 MACHINE-NAME gnome-shell[3315]: The offending signal was notify on StLabel 0x5615bd3eee80.
