When running Ubuntu 19.04 for a few days without restarting, some Unity features get blurred out.

This is how my search panel looks like.

enter image description here

Everything else looks good. for example Browsers and other softwares like PHPStorm all working as it should.

I know I can fix this by restarting the system. But is there any other ways to fix this issue? I'm a developer and always have many windows and programs open. It takes a long time to reopen everything I need once the computer is restarted.

    Have you installed any new themes or fonts or GNOME extensions? Edit your question with the results of ls -al ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions... not in the comments please. – heynnema Jul 25 '19 at 17:37

With the update to 19.04, some GNOME extensions that you were running before, may not be compatible with 19.04.

Go to https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ and temporarily disable ALL extensions, and then restart GNOME shell with alt+f2, then r, then enter, and see if the problem is gone after running a while. If so, re-enable one extension at a time, restart GNOME shell, and retest. If the problem returns, you've found the bad extension.
