Journal entry for the crash

Description of problem:
Gnome shell crashes on text selection in some applications with a "BadWindow" error.  Chromium-based browsers manifest this consistently, as do some flatpak applications.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
41.8.1-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Chromium-based browser such as Google Chrome or Brave.
2. Navigate to a web page.
3. Double-click on the address bar to select the link text.

Actual results:
Gnome shell crashes.

Expected results:
Text should be selected.

Additional info:
This problem appears to be input-path sensitive.  Chromium-based browsers reliably reproduce this, but I've been unable to reproduce it with Firefox, Gnome terminal, or LibreOffice.  It will also randomly reproduce while the screen is locked if a Chromium-based browser is running.

Only a single message is produced in the journal for this, and there is no repeatable event preceding it.  In some cases, the journal is completely quiet for a couple of minutes preceding it.
