Comment 1 André Klapper 2016-12-30 10:18:21 UTC
Hi Cristian, 
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using version 3.16.x 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 may 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, or feel free to file a bug report in the bug tracking system of your Linux distribution if your distribution still supports your version 3.16.x

Comment 3 André Klapper 2017-01-02 16:24:47 UTC
@Cristian: Stacktrace looks like a duplicate of bug 769653? Bug 742508 also looks a little bit similar.

Is there an updated stacktrace from 3.22 or 3.20 with symbols available? If so, can you please post it here?

As this is likely Mutter and not gnome-shell, is there something relevant in the journal log?

Comment 5 Florian Müllner 2017-02-08 00:56:27 UTC
This looks like an XWayland crash. There are plans to reduce the dependency on XWayland in the future (see bug 759538), but for now that's a fatal error I'm afraid ...
Comment 6 André Klapper 2018-01-03 20:10:09 UTC
The stacktrace in comment 0 is the same as in bug 787784 comment 2

Comment 8 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:38:48 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
