Public bug reported: Sometimes after opening a lot of programs and running a lot of processes, the mouse stops moving for 2-3 seconds, then window manager shuts down and restarts again, then starts to iterate this infinitely.
Other terminals are working, the running programs are not stopping, and can be seen, blinking, during the window manager starting. I cannot stop it (I'm not a Linux expert) and in the end, I solve the problem by restarting the computer. This bug occurred up until now about 3-4 times, it's about every 3-4 week that I experience this problem.
