Please could you say more about how to reproduce this problem? Is there a
particular application, or a particular UI action, or anything like that,
that triggers this?

Are you using any GNOME Shell extensions? If you are, does this still
happen after you disable the extensions?

Release team: it's possible that this is a regression in
gnome-shell_3.38.6-1~deb11u1, which is queued for inclusion in the Debian
11.1 point release. I'll try to get more information.
