sorry for need updating this bug report, I had switched back to xorg because of too many bugs in wayland. Now running bionic 18.04 which use xorg by default. Can't say it is a bad decision, it feels like 17.10 was for beta testing whereas not advertised as such.
After testing over a month, this gnome-shell issue on wayland was tailored to clipboard-indicator use. It did not appear without this extension. But this is clearly is gnome-shell issue (it should not crash so easily and freeze the entire system). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750352 Title: gnome-shell freeze on key press while high CPU load Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: This bug happens randomly (once an hour), on keyboard input in different apps, ex Firefox address bar, Alfred launcher or Gnome Overview. I could not find steps to reproduce (tried reducing keyboard interval and repeated keypress following STRs from #1731420 but it did not freeze, though CPU use increased). System is completely frozen, cannot switch to TTY, but music continues to play. Sometimes it logs out but most of the time I have to force reboot by long pressing the shutdown key. syslog show message : "Key repeat discarded, Wayland compositor doesn't seem to be processing events fast enough!" multiple times.
