Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.28.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Upgrading from debian stretch to debian buster worked fine on my Macbook Pro
2015 without any monitors connected, e.g. just the built-in screen.

Arriving at work, plugging in my monitors as I always do, (Monitor 1: built-in,
a lower resolution due to HDP, Monitor2: above monitor 1, regulator
orientation, monitor 3, left of monitor 2, portrait orientation) gnome-shell
stops updating its screen (e.g. no mouse movement etc).

Logging in as a test user, without any monitor configuration, everything is
fine. Setting the rotation of Monitor 3 to landscape causes the same problem.

Rebooting to my previous stretch kernel (4.9.0-3) still causes the problem.
This kernel in combination with the previous gnome-shell on stretch (which may
have been X rather then wayland) worked fine for weeks.

Linux itself does not crash, nor shows any problem in dmesg when logging in via
ssh.

Below is the journal output from gnome-shell when this happens.
