Package: gnome-shell
Severity: important
Hi,
Debian gnome-shell seems to also suffer from
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2467
reverting the commit singled out as the culprit in the bug log seems to
fix things for me.
I've selected a "Gnome on Xorg" session in GDM rather than using the
default, quite possibly, this was necessary to trigger the problem.
To give you a taste for the severity, note that the below shows up to
21552 identical error messages being logged in a single second (per the
timestamp). I had filled up gigabytes of log in no time at all.
Personally, this make things totally unusable for me, but I've not put
severity at serious because I forgot the exact definition.
Best regards
Thomas

You never said which version of gnome-shell or mutter is/was affected.
Which version is/was affected? It might be obvious to you, but it isn't
obvious to me whether you're talking about 3.38.x, 3.30.x or something
else.
3.38, but I missed that you had the fixes from the issue already and
also missed that my report was a duplicate of #970295, so I guess this
is fixed all right.
Thank you again, and sorry for the confusion.
Best regards
Thomas
