I didn't realize my bug was a duplicate
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875125).
This is a big issue for desktop users, I almost rolled back immediately.
I'll still be rolling back due to other bugs I've found since Friday, but in
the meantime I did find a slightly better way of working around the issue for
20.04 which I had posted in my bug post. I'll repost it here:
In /usr/share/gnome-shell/modes/ there is a json file ubuntu.json. It
has a list of enabled extensions one of which is the desktop-icons
extension. It looks like this:
{
"parentMode": "user",
"stylesheetName": "Yaru/gnome-shell.css",
"themeResourceName": "theme/Yaru/gnome-shell-theme.gresource",
"debugFlags": ["backtrace-crashes-all"],
"enabledExtensions": ["[email protected]",
"[email protected]", "desktop-icons@csoriano"]
}
Editing ubuntu.json and removing the entry and extra comma for desktop-
icons, disables the extension from a single point. After that working
around the issue using nemo provides desktop icons, delete hotkeys, and
drag/drop functionality that was previously non-functional.
