I'm not currently in a position to look at restarting gnome-shell with
'Alt F2 and r' in any great detail but I have reported or seen similar
issues during the cosmic, disco and now the **eoan** releases of Ubuntu.
So, I am confirming that this issue exists when restarting the shell
using the aforementioned keyboard shortcut in the current development
release (19.10).
'Alt F2, r and enter' should restart GNOME Shell and display any
currently running applications but it has failed to do so correctly in
recent Ubuntu releases.
** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed

Title:
gnome-shell's alt-f2 r (refresh) kills non-gnome apps
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Pressing alt-f2 then r refreshes gnome-shell as expected (though now
windows have black borders) but it kills apps like Firefox, but not
Feedreader, nautilus, nor, gnome-terminal (those are what I tested).
I expect that it should not kill any apps like in the old gnome-shell.
This is useful since when gnome-shell hangs, I kill it and it
refreshes. Now I can't do that without killing the other apps also.
Thank you for looking into this bug.
