Public bug reported: Syslogs are full of the following message:
10:18:44 <hostname-redacted> gnome-shell[2423]: Attempting to call back into JSAPI during the sweeping phase of GC. This is most likely caused by not destroying a Clutter actor or Gtk+ widget with ::destroy signals connected, but can also be caused by using the destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs. Because it would crash the application, it has been blocked and the JS callback not invoked. Apr 7 10:18:44 <hostname-redacted> gnome-shell[2423]: The offending signal was notify on ShellWindowTracker 0x55c1ae4b84d0. Causing the disk to fill up which causes many other issues in turn.
