The above link is actually bug 1796607. Interesting. Someone else mentioned yesterday that same crash.

The Dash to Dock extension at times: is seen on the lock screen changes size when hovering over a program launcher icon loses it transparency The last time I saw an issue was immediately after running an update in a terminal window. As soon as the process finished I noticed the Dash to Dock had changed appearance. As I couldn't remember how I fixed it previously I attempted to restart gnome-shell by Alt F2 > r and enter. The transparency issue couldn't be rectified by changing the extension's settings. gnome-shell didn't restart gracefully as it should and gave the appearance of a crash as only program windows were visible, the remaining parts of the screen were black. I was eventually taken back to the login screen so had to restart all of the previously running programs. This last issue of not being able to restart gnome-shell has been seen on a number of occasions over the last few days, in fact twice today and the last after a recent reboot with hardly any activity being carried out on the PC except to start a few programs using the Dock and running the update (which just found an update to Google Chrome).
