Bug#1033484: mutter assert and kills the session on displaying popups (multiple apps liek nautilus)

[Norbert Lange]

Package: mutter
Version: 43.3-5
Severity: grave
X-Debbugs-Cc: nolange79 at gmail.com

Right clicking in Nautilus will bring down the Desktop Session immediatly
(as well as in multiple other Application).

This behaviour started with 43.2-? and is still appearing with 43.3-5,
the only way I can use my system is downgrading to 43.0-2 and puttin
libmutter-11-0 mutter on hold.

It sounds identical to this issue:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2563

I have this behaviour on 2 systems, AMD with Opensource drivers and one with a
really old Nvidia Card and "legacy" closed driver.
Wayland / X11 rerspective - the only common thing seems to be 2 attached
Monitors.
