Bug Description

Steps:
- run https://snapcraft.io/telegram-desktop
- open a full-screen image preview

Expected:
- the image preview opens
- and can be closed

Current:
- the image preview opens
- the shell becomes unresponsive

Often it's possible to wait a few seconds to close the preview again, but sometimes it just locks up hard with no way to recover.

Can you ssh in to find out if gnome-shell is hung or crashed? If crashed then:

It's hung, if I press Esc soon enough, it will recover within a few seconds. But in the mean time it's looping on CPU.
