Re: multiple top bars

[Leslie S Satenstein <lsatenstein yahoo com>]

I have done everything you asked. 

Please do the following. Yes, it may take some elapsed time.

Do install Fedora 26  (or 25) onto a btrfs system

Download Taskbar  by Zyper extension from Gnome Extensions

By default, it goes to $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions.

See if you can do a firefox or other installation onto btrfs. 
Crash  Crash, Crash, C'est l'enfer.   I spent hours trying different settings.

If you get the extension to work, log out and log back in once or twice or reboot

If you have room on the drive, create a ext4 partition which is a mirror of /home

adjust the fstab to point to that partition.

With EXT4, zero problems, everything works.

And when the extension fails, check the logon gear. It might have jumped from Gnome or Gnome.xorg, to some other non existant distribution

I am willing to test with you or other person.   If you fix up gnome-shell with btrfs, it will certainly fix up other problems with later releasess of gnome-shell.

I believe that there is no range limit checking for an extension or possibly a memory over-allocation/under-allocation problem

Why am I using btrfs.  Google "best file system to use with SSD hardware"

Salut JC

The folder still exists, but is being relocated to  /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions

This is a move to sandbox faulty extensions. 
I cannot run one or two without crashing the shell, and losing the terminal (sudo killall -u crashed_user or reboot)

The biggest problem I have is with gnome-shell running on btrfs file system,

One  extension  TaskBar by zpydr runs perfectly if /home is on an ext4 or xfs system but locks up the user if /home is on a btrfs file system (/home is a subvolume of / )

Please contact me for more info

Disabling all extensions with the gnome-tweak-tool did not fix the
problem. Rather, it left the top-bars active but with less items on
them.

However, deleting the newly-added folders in ~/.local/share/gnome-
shell/extensions (and logging out and then logging in) DID fix the
problem!

Thank you very much, Jan Niklas Hasse!
