I have noticed that since the upgrade ot 3.26 my shell crashes and restarts itself when opening windows (and sometime switching between them). The screen goes blank and the shell restarts with the windows still open but my display preferences changed back to the default setup (external + built in monitor enabled).
Running dmesg shows a bunch of messages along the line of

(I suspect the latter is from the Slack electron app)
I am not entirely sure how to get further information to debug this but I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this isuse?
I will probably rollback for now as it is mostly unusable in this state.
Do you have extensions running? If so, try first if you can find out which of the extension might be causing it - and the file a bug for the respective one. Cheers Dominique
