Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

I have seen this behavior particularly when Spotify emits a notification for example when starting playback of a playlist or changing songs. The shell recovers itself and no other problems are evident afterwards, but it is very annoying. It seems that once the crash happens it will not repeat until another session is started (after restarting the PC, for example). But it doesn't always happens on the first notification emmited on the session. I manually attach the crash dump, because ubuntu-bug and apport-cli both crashes when trying to submit this bug.
