I worked round this issue by uninstalling gnome-shell-extension- appindicator. This fixed this issue and also a number of high cpu usage issues I was seeing. The cpu issues were sometimes severe enough to also expose weaknesses in the compositor.
I suggest that anyone who is getting problems with gnome shell tries this work around and reports the results back here along with the a quick summary of the problem they were seeing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1812883 Title: Desktop view flashes every time ~/Desktop changes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons/+bug/1812883/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
