Description of problem: Selecting a large amount of data in Google Chrome that includes images and dragging it causes gnome-shell to crash. Although Fedora does not support Chrome, I am still reporting this as a bug because Chrome should not be able to crash gnome-shell in this way.

This happened to me when working with text objects in scribus. it was highly reproducible. Figured out that uninstalling the libinfinity* packages and updating the freetype package seemed to make the crashes go away.
Another user experienced a similar problem: The crash occurred when running the Steam Client in Fedora 21 in a VirtualBox VM session. I have been able to reproduce the issue. 1. Launched Fedora VM Guest 2. Opened Steam Client 3. Get error: "OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems." 4. Click OK 5. Steam client hangs or Select a game from the Store screen and video auto-plays then client hangs 6. Desktop environment stopped and reset 7. Error report of crash in GNOME appeared Step 5 is inconsistent, sometimes it runs fine for a several minutes before the client hangs and other times it hangs within seconds of the client launching. I have a suspicion that the issue may be related to how VirtualBox handles video rendering via OpenGL within the Guest OS. Running VirtualBox 4.3.26 r98988 with Guest Additions installed. reporter: libreport-2.3.0 backtrace_rating: 4 cmdline: /usr/bin/gnome-shell crash_function: _cogl_set_error executable: /usr/bin/gnome-shell kernel: 3.19.2-201.fc21.x86_64 package: gnome-shell-3.14.3-2.fc21 reason: gnome-shell killed by SIGTRAP runlevel: N 5 type: CCpp uid: 1000
I experienced this several times when a buggy LibreOffice extension (TexMaths) created very high windows that don't fit on screen.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
