I wanted to chime in to report that the released bionic fix ( gnome-
shell-extension-ubuntu-dock_0.9.1ubuntu18.04.3_all.deb ) has indeed
seemed to correct this issue on my system.  I am running the stock
Ubuntu dock variant and not the dash-to-dock extension version, which is
what I suspect may be a continued cause of problems for others are still
having the issue.

Within the last two or so weeks the issue was inexplicably occurring
with such a high prevalence that I thought I was going to have to switch
to a new desktop environment.  I had the password prompt on the shutter
screen disabled, and in that case once the dock appeared above the
shutter the only way to regain control of the system was to drop to a
shell and run "killall -HUP gnome-shell."

Thankfully, disabling transparency effects for the dock did remedy the
issue.  I re-enabled transparency with the patch and things seem to be
working fine.  I have only had to restart Gnome once because of an
incident where the shutter would not raise correctly, but the dock was
not visible so I cannot say if it is related to this or just a one-off
fluke.
