Description of problem: In branched 37, beta 1.4, closing pidgin crashes gnome-shell (and with it, the whole session because of wayland) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-43~beta-3.fc37.x86_64 gnome-shell-extension-appindicator-42-3.fc37.noarch How reproducible: Always in my setup, haven't tested in others Steps to Reproduce: 1. have gnome-shell-extension-appindicator installed and enabled 2. run pidgin (in my case, open libera) 3. Close pidgin, either from the appindicator icon or from Quit in the menu Actual results: gnome-shell crashes (SIGABRT) and the session is closed Expected results: Pidgin is closed without issues Additional info:
Can you attach a debug backtrace? Do so by running sudo dnf install gdb sudo dnf debuginfo-install mutter gnome-shell glib2 gjs coredumpctl gdb -r gnome-shell then in the (gdb) prompt run backtrace full then attach the output as a file here.
Created attachment 1909769 [details] backtrace This backtrace is from yesterday's crash, let me know if that's ok or if you want me to generate it again
Looks like https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5832. Can you see if you can find the journal logs from gnome-shell from when the crash happened? If you look up the pid from coredumpctl, it might be available if you do journalctl _PID=pid-of-gnome-shell
Created attachment 1909772 [details] journalctl from the pid Indeed it looks like the same thing Clutter:ERROR:../clutter/clutter/clutter-actor.c:11749:clutter_actor_destroy_all_children: assertion failed: (self->priv->n_children < prev_n_children)
Jonas, I have a feeling (but absolutely no evidence) that this might be related https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/issues/294 , since pidgin is also what triggers that problem for me.

I have no idea, but if this is something you can reproduce, there seems to be a potential fix available if you install the extension from one of the commenters.
Just confirmed that updating gnome-shell-extension-appindicator to the code in the "ubuntu/jammy" branch makes the crash disappear
