I had this "large log file" issue with gnome-shell for a long time (1-2 years). Only drawback was, I was not being able to send crash reports to launchpad after gnome-shell crashes (which are more frequent than expected)
But recently, after apt update; apt upgrade, couple months ago, gnome- shell became very unstable. Right now, after each screen lock or resume it restarts and occasionally Xorg crashes right after putting in the password. I file a bug about this instability (https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1797141). Long story short, I have gnome-shell version 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 and still has the large log file problem.

Any idea which extension is causing this problem? Is there a systematic way to test an extension for this bug (instead of 1.activate extension 2.check log for a while 3. turn off the extension 4. go to 1) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1747566 Title: syslog fills with messages: Object ..., has been already finalized.
