This bug keeps me stuck in activities overview mode showing me all running programs and folders and I can't access any of them.

I thought it was related to the browser and asked about that but we reached no answer.

I accessed from many users and found that the issue still exists.

I made some trials and found that it happens when I try to move between my running programs, folders, etc...

@!0,27;BDH: I have no idea what this is, even searching online only led me to one post, you can see it in the picture. I can close all other programs but @!0,27;BDH can't be closed. Sometimes it doesn't appear but I will still be stuck at the activities overview

@!0,27;BDH window

The issue has been there since 20.10.

I updated the kernel from 5.11.0-18-generic to 5.13.0-051300rc4-generic and my version is 21.04, the bug stayed.

    Does this answer your question? What is @!0,27;BDH? – heynnema Jun 02 '21 at 16:35
  • Show me uname -r. – heynnema Jun 02 '21 at 16:38
  • @heynnema 5.11.0-18-generic – Silver Player Jun 02 '21 at 19:00

    That's not the standard kernel for Ubuntu 20.10. Boot to the standard kernel and see if your problem goes away. What video card do you have? What version driver? – heynnema Jun 02 '21 at 20:09
  • Edit your question and show me ls -al ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions and ls -al /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions and free -h. – heynnema Jun 02 '21 at 20:12
  • The left one of those running programs looks like a game. Does the problem only happen when that game is running? What if you don't start it? Or is it started automatically after each system boot? – HuHa Jun 03 '21 at 11:38
  • @HuHa No, it can happen anytime: examples: while using Alt+tab or accessing overview momently. Browser, games, folders, no specific – Silver Player Jun 03 '21 at 11:40

  • Disable Desktop Icons Next Generation (ding) in your gnome-shell extensions and see if the problem goes away. Remove the rc4 kernel that you installed asap. – heynnema Jun 03 '21 at 12:56
  • @heynnema I do not see an answer in the proposed duplicate. – Bruni Jun 11 '21 at 06:41
  • @Bruni No, that was a duplicate question asked by the same user. – heynnema Jun 11 '21 at 14:11
  • @SilverPlayer Have you reverted to the standard kernel yet? Have you disabled ding yet? Status please... – heynnema Jun 11 '21 at 14:12
  • @heynnena Sorry I did not notice it was the same user. – Bruni Jun 11 '21 at 20:05
  • Status please... did you disable ding and the rc4 kernel? – heynnema Jun 13 '21 at 15:55
  • @heynnema yes, kc4 was removed, currently running 5.12.x, I disabled Ding, 1st week nothing happened but by 2nd week I face the issue once, I tried to make it happen again later but nothing faced me any more till this moment ( during 3rd week ) – Silver Player Jun 25 '21 at 01:05

Disabling Desktop Icons Next Generation (DING) gnome-shell extension may help to solve this issue:

$ gnome-extensions disable ding@rastersoft.com

Another way to do this is by navigating to /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ and rename the extension directory (ding@rastersoft.com/) to something else (so that if something breaks, you can rename the directory again to get back to where you were).

I started to see this issue after an upgrade on Ubuntu 22.04, in my case the window was named @!2560,0;BDHF but it seems another instance of the same problem.
