It's unlikely that assertion message is related to gnome-shell rejecting mouse clicks. So I will reword the bug title...
The first thing to try is always to remove/disable your custom extensions since extensions cause a large number of bugs. You have: b'org.gnome.shell' b'enabled-extensions' b"['dash-to- [email protected]', 'all-in-one-places@jofer']" Please disable or remove those and see if the problem reoccurs. ** Tags added: noclick ** Summary changed: - gnome-shell[4614]: gtk_action_observer_action_removed: assertion 'GTK_IS_ACTION_OBSERVER (observer)' failed + GNOME Shell unresponsive (could move my cursor but clicking anything didn't produce any actual effects) ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- 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/1803208 Title: GNOME Shell unresponsive (could move my cursor but clicking anything didn't produce any actual effects) Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: GNOME Shell was unresponsive (could move my cursor and I think Shell elements were changing colour etc as I hovered over them but clicking anything didn't produce any actual effects) after trying to log into an email account on the Geary Flatpak and opening Firefox (Deb) pretty much simultaneously. Not sure this is reproducible. I checked `journalctl -r` and I had 150,000 repeats (in a short period of time) of `adam-thinkpad-t430 gnome-shell[4614]: gtk_action_observer_action_removed: assertion 'GTK_IS_ACTION_OBSERVER (observer)' failed`, I don't think this has come up in the logs aside from for that crash... Pretty sure that Shell is to blame, not Geary or Firefox... ``` $ flatpak info org.gnome.Geary/x86_64/stable Ref: app/org.gnome.Geary/x86_64/stable ID: org.gnome.Geary Arch: x86_64 Branch: stable Origin: flathub Collection ID: org.flathub.Stable Date: 2018-08-29 14:38:53 +0000 Subject: Update for 0.12.4.
