Yes, in fact we can say with some confidence that the issue was probably
fixed in a later Gnome version since no one else is reporting the issue
in 18.04/18.10.
If only we knew what fixed it and where then we would be able to
backport that fix :/

I did some tests with 18.10 but the problem did not occur.
Since the bug is intermittent, these tests may not be significant.
Please leave this case open to future updates.

Testing 18.10 would help us the most in the short term. But in the long
term be aware that 18.04 has a longer support life:

Testing for intermittent bugs is always challenging.
Would testing on 18.10 be ok? This is how my test machine is
configured.

You received this bug
Can you please try Ubuntu 18.04 and tell us if it has the same bug?
http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/
I feel this is most likely a bug that was fixed some time ago. And
certainly if you're using Gnome Shell then we recommend Ubuntu 18.04 or
later.

Daniel,
When I was running 16.04.0 with the same mods described in comment 3 and
with the same monitor BUT with an older computer, I never got this
problem.
When I installed 16.04.5 (new install, erasing everything) on a newer
computer BUT with the same monitor, I started getting this issue.
The bug just happened again, this time with a text document.

Oh, it is gdm3. But being Ubuntu 16.04 an older version than what we
support in 18.04 onward. So I would expect extra bugs in 16.04 that we
haven't seen before.
