Public bug reported: The interfaces crashes, activities bar disappears and in it's place a menu appears with File - Edit and some other buttons. I can start terminal with CTRL+ALT+T but I can't type anything because the keyboard doesn't work. I can't switch between windows but the borders light up when I press ALT+TAB. I can close them with the mouse by pressing X.
The problem appears random, when I switch between windows, start a program or access the activities menu. To get around this without rebooting I enter the console with CTRL+ALT+F1 and type sudo gnome-session --replace. Then I takes me back to the login window. It kills all my programs and I lost unsaved work.
