Daniel, I've tried four times to create a new bug report. Although I get a prompt to advise that Ubuntu 18.10 has experienced an error and clicked on 'send' I just get returned to the terminal prompt.

Paul, Please repeat the steps from comment #2 so that we can try and verify if this really is a duplicate of bug 1796607.

Ok, thanks. I see you've already found a bug report regarding a dashtodock problem so best to deal with just the crash here which is reproducible by opening applications on separate workspaces. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- 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/1799787 Title: gnome-shell crashes when forcing a restart if applications are started on multiple workspaces Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: What should happen: With any number of applications running or workspaces enabled, gnome- shell should restart gracefully by using 'Alt F2 > r and enter'.
