Public bug reported: The crash isn't immediate, but reliably reproducible when using the touchscreen to interact with multiple full-screen native steam games. Typically happens within 30-120 minutes of normal use. (Same games don't crash at all if the touchscreen is not used.) I've reproduced the issue many times. Also seems to affect other full-screen applications such as the default video player (reproduced once).
Typically right before the crash the reaction to touch input will become somewhat strange (touches seem to register, but the full-screen application doesn't respond as expected, for example moving the cursor but not actually performing the "tap" action). # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 19.10 Release: 19.10 # apt-cache policy gnome-shell gnome-shell: Installed: 3.34.1+git20191024-1ubuntu1~19.10.1 Candidate: 3.34.1+git20191024-1ubuntu1~19.10.1 Version table: *** 3.34.1+git20191024-1ubuntu1~19.10.1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.34.1-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan/main amd64 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.10 Package: gnome-shell 3.34.1+git20191024-1ubuntu1~19.10.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.3.0-26.28-generic 5.3.13 Uname: Linux 5.3.0-26-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu8.2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun Jan 26 12:36:19 2020 DisplayManager: gdm3 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 3.34.1+git20191107-1ubuntu1~19.10.1 SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) mtime.conffile..etc.apport.crashdb.conf: 2020-01-25T22:33:07.611081 ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug eoan -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860907 Title: gnome-shell crashes when using touchscreen Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The crash isn't immediate, but reliably reproducible when using the touchscreen to interact with multiple full-screen native steam games.
