I've opened <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6476>
for this.

Upstream issues that could be related, all of which seem to be regressions
somewhere around version 42:

* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5146
* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5270
* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5377

5270 and 5377 seem like maybe closer (or at least more specific) matches
for your experience than 5146, but it wouldn't surprise me if there's a
common root cause for all of these.

Unfortunately, nobody who is in a position to fix these has been able to
reproduce any of them.
