Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  2021-06-12: A task closure has been requested. Reason for request: Several extensions are incompatible with Gnome 40, seems that Gnome 40 introduced several braking changes for many extensions. So, the indicated is to disable all extensions before login in, and then, update those that already has an updated version compatible with Gnome 40 and uninstall all that were not updated yet. I had those issues too, now there are many extensions that were updated and, now, I'm using Gnome 40 without any problems. For those who use dash to dock, it was abandoned in favor of dash to plank.

Seems that pressing window button breaks something and alt+f2 and typing "r" helps. Not using wayland. Trying to find some logs that could help ... nothing so far.

Still no logs that explain my disaster, but!

I managed to disable "windowNavigator" extension and that solved my problem... at least for now.
