@shemgp, are you running with multiple workspaces? If so, what settings do you have set on the "Workspaces" tab in Tweaks?
I ask as I have been seeing this problem or at least one similar since the cosmic release. -- 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/1843419 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.
