This bug is still present in Focal. It seems to have lost focus in upstream. In Focal it is much harder to remove the extension as it is even more tightly linked in as a mandatory dependency for a number of major system components. The only way to remove it is by deleting or renaming its files.
It seems to me that this extension is responsible for numerous performance issues. A number of bugs have been raised on different symptoms, but all have a common factor of impacting performance and involving this extension. May I suggest that an umbrella bug is created and named something like "Unacceptable Gnome shell perfomance" and marked as critical. The first priority is to make this extension optional and disabled by default. The process of enabling should warn of potential performance issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1812883 Title: Desktop view flashes every time ~/Desktop changes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons/+bug/1812883/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
