Public bug reported: I am using Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
The software version is GNOME Shell 46.0 The graphics driver is nvidia-driver-550.163.01 [GNOME Shell] frequently reports the error "Can't update stage views actor... needs an allocation," especially during window operations and when using Sogou Input Method. On my Ubuntu system, GNOME Shell continuously outputs a large number of "Can't update stage views actor unnamed [MetaWindowActorX11] is on because it needs an allocation" and "... [MetaSurfaceActorX11] ..." error logs. This issue occurs particularly frequently and severely when resizing windows (maximizing or drag-to-scale) or using Sogou Input Method for Chinese input, significantly affecting system stability and user experience. I have tried uninstalling all extensions and creating a completely new user account for testing, but the problem persists. This indicates that the issue may be related to system-level graphics or memory management configuration, rather than specific user profile corruption.
