3.10.x is really old and hasn't been supported upstream for years. Is there a chance that you can test with 3.22?
> Bug also reported at: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1639051 ...and I'd prefer that the bug is handled only there, as you are using version 3.10 which is too old and not supported anymore by GNOME developers. GNOME developers are no longer working on that older version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes by GNOME developers for the version that you use. By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME. Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a recent version of GNOME (currently: 3.22 or 3.20), and feel free to follow the bug report in the bug tracking system of your Linux distribution as your distribution still supports your version 3.10.x.
