Public bug reported: Ubuntu dock is causing the gnome shell to crash especially while opening appfolders and clicking out of the app folders. Same problem was also observed during minimizing and maximizing (by clicking the launcher button).
The entire gnome shell was frozen; none of the key bindings worked - except the only option was to switch to the tty by hitting alt-ctrl-f3 and restart from there. I have played around with all the options in the settings by installing dash to dock extension (since some settings seems to be shared) including transparency, Auto hide, panel & icon size with all kinds of combinations and I managed to fix this issue by disabling / unchecking the option: Panel mode:extend to screen edge. After disabling/Unchecking the option- Panel mode:extend to screen edge; this problem could not be replicated again. lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
