Description Matyas Selmeci 2017-07-12 16:13:24 UTC 
Using Gnome with Xorg on Fedora 26, gnome-shell crashes when dragging a window in the main view from one display to another.  (Unlike 741567 and 776577, dragging a window on the overview does not crash.)

This crash doesn't appear to happen on Gnome with Wayland.

I have a mixed-DPI setup, with a high-DPI laptop display and standard-DPI external monitor.  I use HiDPI mode in Gnome and use XRandR to rotate and scale the external display so that I have enough room to work.

This issue did not happen on Fedora 25 (gnome-shell 3.22.1).

(As a side note, I would love to use Wayland, but I have no idea how to activate mixed-DPI support, if it's even been implemented.)

Probably a duplicate of bug 783630, but hard to tell without a backtrace.

Here's the link to the ABRT report, if that helps: https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/1722535/
Comment 3 Florian Müllner 2017-07-12 16:48:11 UTC 
It does, it's indeed the same issue. An F26 build including that patch is currently on the way, I'll file an update once that's done.
