I keep having this message appear in my logs.

Aug 10 18:05:59 localhost gnome-shell[1699]: Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x3c00004

It appears that the Extension window is somehow buggy.

What actual issue are you hitting? Could you include a screenshot of whatever bad thing you're seeing?

I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary other than it sometimes flooding my logs with different windows (it seems the problem isn't exclusive to the Extensions window).

What is this?
Comment 5 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2022-12-09 07:30:28 UTC
I found it reported to upstream:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6082

But, apart from the error... I don't see any "important" consequence... at least in my machines

I don't understand the question. I assumed this to be a bug with GNOME.

> I found it reported to upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6082

That seems like the one. Thank you, Pacho.

Likewise, it seems minor on the surface.

I don't think we can do much from downstream side, we will need to wait for upstream :/
