Bug#908769: gnome-shell: freeze when super (windows) key is pressed

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.30.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When pressing the super key, sometimes the screen just show the greyed
backgroud, without the search input on the top, nor the workspace bar on the
right, not the favorits bar on the left, not the reduced window
application in the center, it just shows the top bar and the greyed backgroud.
I can see the mouse cursor and move it, but clicking doesn't do much.

It is not easy to reproduce but it is happening quite often(about once every
2 hours).

I found the following errors in the logs:

It seems that this was also reported in Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1788691?comments=all

It usually happens when I am using chromium, but I am not sure if this
is related.

Please, let me know if I shouldn't report it here as it was already
reported in Ubuntu.
