@plurtu - can you confirm revised bug description?
** Description changed:
- These problems have been seen several times over the past week and are
- partly covered by other bug reports so please mark as a duplicate if
- appropriate but I'm creating this report as I feel that all issues are
- connected.
+ What should happen:
- The Dash to Dock extension at times:
+ With any number of applications running or workspaces enabled, gnome-
+ shell should restart gracefully by using 'Alt F2 > r and enter'.
- is seen on the lock screen
- changes size when hovering over a program launcher icon
- loses it transparency
+ What does happen:
- The last time I saw an issue was immediately after running an update in
- a terminal window. As soon as the process finished I noticed the Dash to
- Dock had changed appearance. As I couldn't remember how I fixed it
- previously I attempted to restart gnome-shell by Alt F2 > r and enter.
+ With just one workspace enabled, several applications can be started and
+ gnome-shell can be restarted with 'Alt F2 > r and enter' without issue.
- The transparency issue couldn't be rectified by changing the extension's
- settings.
+ With multiple workspaces enabled, several applications can be started
+ and gnome-shell can be restarted with 'Alt F2 > r and enter' provided
+ all applications are started on the first workspace.
- gnome-shell didn't restart gracefully as it should and gave the
- appearance of a crash as only program windows were visible, the
- remaining parts of the screen were black. I was eventually taken back to
- the login screen so had to restart all of the previously running
- programs.
-
- This last issue of not being able to restart gnome-shell has been seen
- on a number of occasions over the last few days, in fact twice today and
- the last after a recent reboot with hardly any activity being carried
- out on the PC except to start a few programs using the Dock and running
- the update (which just found an update to Google Chrome).
+ With multiple workspaces enabled, if several applications are started on
+ different workspaces then gnome-shell will crash if restarted with 'Alt
+ F2 > r and enter'. My last application was started on workspace 4.
