Bug Description
gnome-shell becomes unresponsive after about 1 day. I'm able to interact with the window that had focus when the problem appears (in this case it was Chrome), but I'm unable to select or otherwise interact with other windows, the shell, dock, or indicators.
The logs are spammed with
gnome-shell[2916]: JS ERROR: TypeError: windowActor is null#012_
This looks similar to but different enough from

I was using the i915 driver when this happened if that makes any difference

It appears this was reported upstream:
https:/ /gitlab. gnome.org/ GNOME/gnome- shell/- /issues/ 3006
but that's been marked as a duplicate of:
https:/ /gitlab. gnome.org/ GNOME/gnome- shell/- /issues/ 2467
which is also mentioned in bug 1841774. So maybe they are related.
