Many gnome-shell syslog messages on ubuntu 19.10

[chrstn-hntschl]

Unfortunately I needed to disable this extension, since the following log messages from gnome-shell spam my syslog:

Object St.Bin (0x56023d791e90), has been already deallocated — impossible to get any property from it. This might be caused by the object having been destroyed from C code using something such as destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs.

Can this be fixed? The extension is working fine otherwise! Thanks a lot!

Can you please confirm that this still happens in current version of GNOME Shell? And if yes, what is your exact version of GNOME Shell? Thanks.

Just installed the extension from https://extensions.gnome.org/ on Ubuntu 20.04 for testing. Bug is still present! Version of GNOME shell is 3.36 (3.36.3-1ubuntu1~20.04.2 to be exact). Thanks for getting back to this issue!

I am also experiencing this with gnome-shell-3.36.5-1.fc32.x86_64

I have rewritten the extension in order to support GNOME Shell v3.38. I am not sure what was the cause of the log messages but it is possible that it was fixed. Could you, please, try the v36 of this extension in GNOME Shell v3.38 (it does not support the older versions) and let me know if the issue still occurs? Thank you.

I finally upgraded to Fedora 33/GNOME Shell 3.38/WindowOverlay Icons v36.

Now every time the overlay is activated, it generates:

I think finally managed to find the cause of "Can't update stage views actor ... is on because it needs an allocation." warning messages. It was fixed in v37: https://github.com/sustmi/gnome-shell-extension-windowoverlay-icons/releases/tag/v37 . Could you, please, confirm that it helped on your system too, @nmiell ?

[nmiell]

That does appear to have fixed the issue, thanks.
