By running "(journalctl -f > journal.txt &) && (nautilus &) && sleep 10 && killall nautilus && sleep 1 && killall journalctl", I was able to acquire only the log entries that occurred while reproducing the bug.

The mouse cursor will be locked in the "drag" state. All keyboard input (including Alt-F2) will be ignored. The only way to escape this state is to switch into a virtual console and kill the current program.
