Can someone explain why this bug seems to be such low priority? It makes
using the Gnome Shell nearly impossible for anyone who uses Thunderbird,
as it stops any meaningful switching between windows, and massively
interferes with even the most basic workflow.

Title:
  Alt-tab stops switching windows [JS ERROR: TypeError: window is null
  _createWindowClone@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/altTab.js:29:27]

Status in GNOME Shell:
  Unknown
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When a new Wayland session is created from a login, Alt-tab works as
  expected to change windows.  After sometime Alt-tab fails to do
  anything (super-tab still works to change applications) and the
  following error is created in syslog:

  gnome-shell[777718]: JS ERROR: TypeError: window is
  
null#012_createWindowClone@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/altTab.js:29:27#012_init@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/altTab.js:1004:34#012_init@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/altTab.js:1045:24#012_init@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/altTab.js:568:30#012_startSwitcher@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/windowManager.js:2069:24

  The only workaround I have found is to logout and log back in, however
  after some time the error repeats itself.
