Similar problem has been detected:

Not completely sure - I pressed the Super key while an application was starting. The shell then displayed one of the miniatures like I have been dragging it (even though I have not) and froze for a brief period. Then it crashed.

Comment 18 Benjamin Masse 2018-02-22 14:23:19 UTC
Non developer here. I experienced the same random crash. 
If I understood the ABRT FAQ correctly, I'm not able to generate a usable backtrace myself.
Replaced Simple Gnome extension by Dash to Dock. I haven't experienced a Gnome Shell crash so far...
Pavel, any chance you're using that same extension as well?

Comment 19 yulinux 2018-03-13 15:21:44 UTC
Same problem here. I was using chromium and other applications when the crash occured. Log in abrt:
[...]
Preparing environment for backtrace generation

Cleaning environment after backtrace generation
Retrace job finished successfully

--- Running analyze_BodhiUpdates ---

But it seems no usable backtrace could be generated. 

Is
https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/2019710/
and 
https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/2061203/
the same problem?

Comment 21 Douglas 2018-04-11 22:55:41 UTC
Sorry, I unintentionally removed the needinfo flag.

Comment 16 described the same thing I was doing when it crashed. I pressed the Super key at the exact moment when an application window is started (I was starting Tor Browser). The overlay froze right there, and few moments later I was dropped to GDM. ABRT fails to produce a backtrace with the same error as others have reported. I haven't installed any extensions to GNOME.

1575951 might be related, at least Pavel's var_log_messages looks similar to what I described in my comment:

Comment 24 Ben Cotton 2018-11-27 14:10:13 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. 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that are no longer maintained.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 '27'.

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 27 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.

Comment 25 Ben Cotton 2018-11-30 23:04:56 UTC
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
