Bug#1022060: gnome-shell: Prolonged use lets one core have >90% CPU usage for a few minutes

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 43.0-2
Severity: important

After updating my gnome-shell to 43 i have noticed
repeated "freezes" in wich gnome-shell takes one CPU core up to
100% CPU usage for some minutes. Closing gnome-terminal and reopening
it fixes the problem temporarily (for one to two hours or so). The bug
was also present before the upgrade to the latest kernel.

 From /var/log/dpkg.log:
