seeing more people encountering this - thought I'd share my observations: - did not see this for a few weeks now - toyed around with nextcloud for a bit yesterday (the new desktop sync client) - also tried to connect a (hacked) amazon fire hd10 tablet (which failed, also tried to get connection using gMTP, then left my system to sleep/idle) - came back to the invisible/unclickable thingie - alt-f2 + r gets rid of it as usual

The window is not clickable, it appears not to even be a window - mouse presses are received by the window underneath. The exception is that the 'cancel' button is active and receives mouse events - but clicking it does nothing. This may be a gnome-shell issue rather than policykit.
