Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.32.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
While trying to get trace for #927831, I realized that any user that
have an active gnome3 wayland session could lock-up the whole seat,
preventing any VT switch just by starting a gnome-terminal and typing :
ludovic@lud-mn1:~$ kill -SIGSTOP $(pidof gnome-shell)
The only thing I can think of to get unstuck is :
* force poweroff with button
* Alt + PrintScrn + B (magic keys for sysrq "reBoot")
Resulting in loose all things (files) opened by all (others) users.
It could been seen as a defect in user input event loop processing at a
global scope. It could be seen as security related.
Regards,
Ludovic
