 I noticed an easy workaround, to get rid of the effect once it
appeared: Press alt-f2 and then "r" for a restart of gnome-shell.  This
will get rid of all the artefacts that happen.  I guess this also points
that the issue actually lies within gnome-shell and not some other part,
does it?

 Enjoy,
