Thanks for the bug report.
Please start by uninstalling all your custom extensions. Don't just
disable them because a really buggy extension can still leak when
disabled. Then log in again and verify the problem is still occurring.
If the problem is still occurring without extensions then while it is
happening please run:
ps auxw | grep gnome-shell > psoutput.txt
and attach the resulting text file here.
